How to Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions in Windows 10, 8, 7?
Geeks - To create and format a hard disk partition in Windows, you will need to use the Disk Management utility. Here's how to do it:
Open the Start menu and type "disk management" into the search box.
Click on the "Create and format hard disk partitions" result to open the Disk Management utility.
Right-click on the hard drive that you want to partition, and select "Shrink Volume" from the context menu.
Enter the amount of space that you want to shrink the volume by, and click "Shrink" to create a new, unallocated space on the hard drive.
Right-click on the unallocated space, and select "New Simple Volume" from the context menu.
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new partition and format it with a file system of your choice (e.g. NTFS, FAT32, etc.).
Keep in mind that creating and formatting a hard drive partition will permanently erase any data that is currently stored on the drive. Be sure to back up any important files before proceeding.
