how can partition the hard drive on a windows server 2003

Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of a project, and I've been asked to partition the letter where Oracle is going to be installed.
This is my first time doing any kind of partition, can someone help me. Thanks

I know that on XP you go into Computer Management then select Disk Management

This might be helpful.

Partition the letter? That doesn't make much sense. You can only assign the letter to the volume or partition the hard drive. Only brand new drives and/or drives with deleted partitions need partitioning. Safest way to determine if your drive needs partitioning is to open disk management and see if you have partitioned all drives. If some are unpartitioned you would see boxes labeled "unpartitioned space". Still, that would be a very weird request from the installation program...

use acronis or just boot up with a live cd (gentoo is good) and partition your disks.

Disk Management can help you and there is another safe way to solve such kind of problem easily with all the data be protected and not need to reboot the system partition: How to partition server partition without reboot and reinstall the OS?
