The Windows feature allows you to create a partition without recovering your computer system.
1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and Create and format hard disk partitions under Administrative
Tools.
2 If the User Account Control window appears, click Yes.
If you are currently logged onto your computer as a standard user, you may be prompted to enter an administrator name
and password.
3 Right-click the C drive and select Shrink Volume.
4 Enter the size of the partition to be created in Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB and click Shrink.
5 Right-click Unallocated and select New Simple Volume.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you use the VAIO Care Rescue, you can create a partition in the recovery process. See Using the VAIO Care (page 39) for more information.
