there is one tiny problem i have only one partition c drive with 750 gb.can anyone recommend me the partition manager for creating one more drive.
I don't think you need any extra partition manager tool for that. It can be done by using Windows 7 tools.
1. Right click on
My Computer icon and select
Manage.
2. Inside the
Computer Management Window, select
Disk Management, present under
Storage in the Left hand side. It will show all the HDDs connected to your device and the partitions for each of the drives. In your case there will be a single HDD with a single partition of 750GB.
3. Right click on that partition and select
Shrink Volume option. After some internal calculation the Shrink window will open up.
4. It will have the following fields:
i. Total Size before Shrink in MB (total size of the partition in MB) Read Only
ii. Total Size available for Shrink in MB (Total free space of that drive)
iii. Enter the amount of Space to Shrink in MB (Editable). Here provide the
amount of space you want to cut from the Partition.
iv. Total Size after shrink in MB (read Only). It will show what will be the size of the existing partition after shrink and will be updated automatically as per the value put in the 3rd field.
Once the selected value is provided in the 3rd field, simply click on the Shrink button and you are done. Remember, the OS drive, which is the only drive currently in your system, after shrink should have at least 50 GB of free space. So the 4th field should always have 51,200 MB or greater value.
