    Cannot partition new 200GB SATA in Windows

    Not sure whether to put this in XP or disk forum so done both and no replies on XP yet but there are 10 views.

    I have just taken delivery of a new computer with a 200GB SATA HDD. I know that Partition Magic does not support discs over 160GB but when I went to Computer Managment/Disk Management I found no free or unallocated space in which to create a Data Partition.

    Details as in Disk Management are: Basic Disk, Layout is Partition, NTFS.

    I need to create a Data Partition urgently to hold my many image and music files and swap file and to cut the system partition down to a reasonable size. How can I do this please? Old computer has disk of 80GB IDE and is very easy to manage so this big HDD stuff and SATA is all new to me.
