Partitioning New Drive?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I just replaced my boot drive with a larger Seagate ATA 320 Gig 16 MB
cache on a five year old computer. I used Seagate Tools to copy my old
boot drive to my new drive and all went well. I can now boot from the
new drive.

My Computer shows 388 Gigs of Free Space with WinXP Pro SP2 taking up
10 Gigs for a total of 298 Gigs. Disk Manager shows one large
partition in healthy condition.

I would like to partition the drive to have a second partition at the
end. Essentially I want to divide the drive in half so I have a C and
D drive. My old drive has a drive D that has all my programs on it and
I want to copy that onto a new partition on the new drive.

However, when I run the partitioning program from Seagate Tools, it
says that there is no free space. Does anyone know what I should do to
get a partition going on the new drive?

Thanks,

Bob
