Creating a new partition

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

I am trying to create a new partition on my Windows 2000 Server laptop, has
service pack 4, is a domain controller with DFS and Active Directory
configured.

I need to create a new partition for RIS install, and need about a 3 gig
partition for it.

According to the help file you just go in to disk management snap-in right
click anywhere on the free space and click create new partition, hmm!!

This is where the problems start (might just be me being thick) when i go
into disk management snap-in i am presented with just the one disk, which i
expected, so i right click on the disk and get some options, but none
include the creation of a new partition, the disk is not set to dynamic
volume, and i am logged on as administrator with full rights.

I have also tried to find a free partition manager utility, huh fat chance
of that having searched the net, i don't want to buy one as i am only
creating a one off partition.

Does Fdisk create NTFS partitions?

Can you guide me or give me a site where i can download a free partition
utility

Thanks

Neil
