Hi there, I've got a new Thinkpad. The seller just devide the HDD into 2 partitions. I heard that using 3rd party software to create new partition will lose the path of the ThinkVantage to Recovery Partition.
So, i wanna know how to create new partition in Disk Management?
Attached image show that I can shrink volume C more tham 25MB while it has128GB free space.

Thanks in advanced

I did that on my PC. In disk management, click on the partition you want to split then select menu option shrink volume.

it all depends on how big your hard drive is, how full it is, and the unmoveable files. I have a 1 T hard drive with very little on it so when I srank it I got another partition with over 1/2 T.

You need to clean up your hard drive -- it has too much shit on it. Delete all the internet temp files and download files. If that isn't enough you will have to start uninstalling stuff or archive off files that you don't use, such as pictures and music.

I don't know where you live but here in USA you can buy usb flash drives that have several gig space, and you can use that to archive off some of your files.
