To create a partition on a drive, free space must be available. In this case, free space is space that has not already been put into a partition. This is not the same as unused space on an existing partition. Free space is identified by the word Free in the drive disk map.

1 Click the Free area on the disk map. White bars appear on each side.
2 Click the Create button to open a dialog box showing the maximum size allowed.
3 Specify the partition size that is less than the maximum size indicated and type a volume label for the partition.
4 To check for errors in the partition area, select the Enable surface scan check box.
5 To select a specific file system for the partition, select the Click BootFixer
6 Click Next to create and format the partition.
