182How to Repartition a Hard Drive on Windows.
There are many Windows users out there who don’t even know it’s possible to actually repartition their computers’ hard drives. Most people just leave the partitions of their hard drives as they are from the beginning, never making any alterations to them. However, not only is it possible to repartition a hard drive on the Windows Operating System but Windows even has a built-in utility that can be used specifically for this purpose. Windows users can repartition their hard drives using nothing but Windows’ built-in hard disk management utility on all versions of Windows that are currently supported by Microsoft.
When you repartition a hard drive, what you basically do is that you shave free space from the existing partitions of the hard drive you want to repartition. The free space you shave off is turned into unallocated space by Windows – this unallocated disk space is not part of any of the partitions of your hard drive, and can be used to create a new partition on the hard drive altogether. Repartitioning hard drives doesn’t even have to involve deleting existing partitions (unless you want to) or getting rid of the existing data on the partitions of your hard drive as you can simply repartition the drive using nothing but the free disk space on it
