Hello,

I'd like to divide a new 60GB HDD into two 30GB partitions, volumes, sectors, or whatever they're called. How is this done? Are there any DIY Web pages with step-by-step instructions to accomplish this task?

My OS is Windows XP SP2.

TIA

Greetings ddb,

I used Windows Computer Management's Disk Management tool to create a partitioned drive, but have only succeeded in creating one large 60GB partition. I do not know how to split the drive into two 30GB partitions.

Do you, or does anyone else, know of an online guide that will walk me through the process?

Thanks
