I have not patitioned this drive, can I still partition it without formating it again? It currently has windows xp and some programs on it.

With something like partition magic you can, but it's not free.

There are probably some free ones out there, but this is all I've used.

Sure you can. But you'll need to use some third party software like Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director.

I forgot to mention, this is an active drive. Do I have to format it or will partition 8 make the partitions on this active drive?

No need to format, it'll make the partitions no problem.
