Try this:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ Download the Live CD, burn it to a CD, and then boot from it. It makes resizing, deleting, creating, and formating partitions a breeze.

How do I create a new partion?
Hi Sean,
To create a new partition, you must first have free (unallocated) space on the drive. If your current partition occupies all of the drive, you will have to shrink it. Is there a particular reason you need a new partition? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Sean" wrote in message ...

How do I create a new partion?
Interestingly, I've found that sometimes you cannot get anywhere by right
clicking on the unallocated space. In these situations, right clicking on the stats box to the left of the drive with the unallocated space will get you an offer to "Initialize" the disk. Once that's done, you'll be able to partition and format normally. - John "Sean" wrote: How do I create a new partion in win vista prem. if the extend option is grayed out in the disk management applet ?
