By "90% occupied" I take it that you mean the drive is almost full. I'm not
sure what you hope to accomplish by partitioning it, but I'd certainly move
some of the stuff off it first.

Acronis makes a Disk Director program that will partition hard drives. If
you have it, read its Help file or go to Acronis user forums at
www.acronis.com. I've used Disk Director for a long time and it works very
well.

What's wrong with XP's Disk Management?
Am I missing something?
