How to make a new partition in Windows 7 Basic?

Question

Disk Management allowed me to create unallocated space but I cannot create new partition on that unallocated space please advice.

Answer 1

If you are trying with Disk Management it will allow to shrink that volume, then you can create a partition on it. It will mark it as secondary partition though, not primary.

Shrinking the volume depends on system management – it only allows to shrink continuous memory.

• Disk Management → Select Volume → Shrink Volume

• Unallocated space appears if the system allows it.

• Select the unallocated space → Create/add a new volume.

Answer 2

Personally, I suggest using easus partition manager, a freeware partition manager. To partition a drive, just click C: OsDisc (what mine says), the resize/move button at the top of the screen, and adjust the scrollbar until you're at your preferred size. It won't let you partition used drive space, though.
