How do i divide my hdd into 2 so i can have 2 folders, C:// and something else?

Partition Magic.

no. G-Parted... Adeptus told me about it, it's good and easy to use... and free.... and windows does not interfere.... it's a linux live cd...

Why would you want to do this? I've done it before and it just got annoying, if you want to seperate drives then you can pick up another hard drive cheap, I have an 80gb one you can have if you want it.

I just cant be fucked to go and buy an external hardrive. And i believe splitting it is the easiest way.

He said he would give you a 80gb Hdd.. He never said anything about an external Hdd

Traxor's way > *

Splitting up Hdds is stupid. Especially when you need to join them together again and you have to back up all your data on the split Hdd so you don't lose it all... Hdds are cheap as btw =P

i disagree, i always split my main hdd into two partitions, one which is about 20gb for the OS and the other is whatever is left. so i don't loose data if i need to reinstall the OS.

partition magic can do it without loosing data.

I aways have OS on one partition (usually 30GB) and then the rest of the drive for installing shit to, then other drives to store stuff.

Partitioning for the hell of it is silly, but if you want to do it to keep your OS seperate from other stuff, go for it.
