Re: How to make a new partition?

For the life of me, I don't know the perceived advantages of partioning the
drive. I've read a lot of "reasons," but none made it throught my thick
skull. In those computers that arrive from the manufacturer with the OS in a
partition, I have found that that partition will eventually be too small and
cause problems.

How to do this without buying a partition program?
