Ok so here goes a concise tutorial on HDD partitioning on Windows VISTA ( doesn’t matter if you have dell studio or XPS or any other machine ) without losing your valuable data .
- Open start -> type administrative tools in the search bar -> press enter. Go to computer management.
- In the left pane , select storage -> disk management.
- Ok now after some time you should see your partitions.
- Now right click the C: (assuming you have to partition the C drive into two.)
- Select “Shrink Volume”. Now enter the amount you want in your new partition and click “Shrink”.
You are done!!
NOTE:
- Explore the administrative tools and disk management specially . Maybe they will help you sometime later. Self taught is the best learnt.
- If you are using Win XP, better use a partition manager like partition magic.

I wrote this "doesnt matter if you have studio or xps or any other machine " because I had some visitors searching specifically for " partition dell studio " !! No one asked why but just like that.
