How To Make A New Partition In Windows 8
Go to run command utility.Press window button and R simultaneously to open the “Run Utility”.
Now type “diskmgmt.msc” in the input box and click OK button.
This will open the disk management tool of Windows.This tool is used for creating, formatting or deleting the partitions of hard-disk in Windows.
Now select the drive which has extra space.We need to shrink that drive.Right click on the drive and select the shrink option.
In my case,I have selected the drive D to shrink.After clicking the shrink volume option I get a new pop up window which shows the information about disk space(total and free). You can shrink the disk with free available space.
You can input the space in MB only.For example if you want to create a partition of 1GB than you should enter 1,000 MB in the input field.
After entering the space you need,Click on “Shrink”.
Now Disk management tool will show you the unallocated space of 1 GB in the right hand side of drives.Right click on unallocated space and choose new simple volume from the list.
This will open an installation page.Check the image shown below
