Is it new? If it is, you can just make two partitions using disk management. If it already has data on it that you want to keep there (i.e. you can't back it up to another drive temporarily) then grab Acronis Partition Manager and have the existing partition resized, and then add the second partition in.

No drivers to worry about. Just go into disk management and assign a drive letter.
