Ok, you can use fdsik which come courtesy of Micro$oft 
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348 which is fine if you have a drive 
with no files or data on it, not the easiest thing to use though.

I'd recommend using PowerQuest partition magic, (which is now  Norton 
PartitionMagicT 8.0  since they took them over - let's hope they haven't ****ed 
it up). Plenty of  guides on how to use it if you want to do a search in 
Google. PartitionMagic is easy to use and does not destroy any data on the 
drive but you should always back up anything you can't live without just in 
case. Size wise? How about Windows + program files and all the other C: drive 
files / folders then add 3 gigs to that? Anyway you can always adjust it to 
your needs again if necessary.

There are other hard drive partitioning apps, I'm sure the collective knowledge 
on here will know of a few alternatives.

Bill.
