Partitioning a drive

Hi all

I installed an 80G hard drive in my system and installed WinXP on it. The drive has just one partition on it, and has about 75G free. I have tried to use WinXP's tools to create another partition,but with no luck. I tried both methods, via WinXP and from the command prompt.

Do I have to delete the main partition, reformat the drive, and then re-partition the drive into two in order to get the drive partitioned?

I have all this free unallocated space that I can't seem to divide up.

Thanks everyone.
 
Are you saying you have 75gigs of unpartitioned space? Or 75gigs of free space on your existing partition? If your existing partition takes up the whole drive, then you'll have to resize that partition before you can add any more.
 
According to the Disk Management, it is all unallocated, but when I look at the properties for the drive itself, it shows the space as free.

I would say that it is free space.

Thanks
