thanks Annie
As the drive will already have the operating system and other programs on it you will need to use a hard disk partitioning tool.

There are ones you can pay for like Symantec's Partition Magic, which is what I use for partitioning drives on the fly. Alternatively there are several free tools out there like Partition Logic
Just do a google search for disk partitioning tools.

Alternatively if you get stuck, give me a call, my details are in my signature.
