TO CREATE NEW PARTITION
To create new partition you must be logged in as an administrator, there must be either unallocated or free disk space with an extended partition on the hard disk. If there is no unallocated disk space, you can create some by shrinking an already existing partition, deleting a partition.

On next screen, You can format or skip this partition.
– You should format this volume under NTFS to take advantage of NTFS file system.
– You should not change allocation unit size setting, unless you have a specific reason to change the allocation size.
– You should assign a label to help you distinguish the new partition from other partition on your system

– NTFS file system have built-in compression that is good choice if storage space is top priority.
On the last screen of wizard you have a summary of your choices. If you need to change any option, you have the last chance to step back and make changes. When you are satisfied with your choices then you can click the Finished button.
