How to partition a hard drive without losing data in your windows 7

Hi pals, I want to show you how to partition a hard drive without formatting your Windows 7 and later operating systems. The basic advantage of partitioning a hard drive is to prevent losing data, in a case where your computer gets attacked by the virus, u just format the windows partition that is the Local Disk (C:) without having to touch your file partition.


Without wasting any time lets get to work.

click on start,>>>right click on "computer",>>>click on manage, 

step 1


click "disk management" on the Computer Management console,


step 2

step 3
locate the drive you want to split,
let us say your computer has just one partition and you want to split that partition into two,
right-click on the drive and click shrink volume,
step 4

step 5


Enter the amount of space you want to shrink,

Note: you can't shrink more than the size available to shrink,

then click shrink,>>>after shrinking, you will see an unallocated partition,

'


step 6

Right-click on it and click new simple volume,>>>click next,
Enter the size of disk you wish to create in megabytes and click next,>>>change the Volume label to anything you wish and click next,>>>then finish.

Check the number of drives you have.

That will be all for now.
