    step 1: backup all your documents
    step 2: use a program like Partition Magic to resize your current partition and create new one(s)

    Highly recommend Partition Magic.

    You can't partition a single physical drive (say C if it's using the entire drive without wiping out everything on the entire drive. Partition Magic can let you "shrink" the drive with data on it and then create other partitons in the blank space.
    I have used it several times before without data damage, but would recommend backing up before taking this on.
