Boom Partition in Vista

How to partition in Vista? In Window Xp, I use partition magic 8.5 dos version. But in Vista, I can not use the partition magic 8.5 version. Any good partition I can use to partition my hard drive in Vista.

Vista automatically partitions your drive to NTFS.

What are you planning on doing with the partition? Splitting up the HDD? You might want to type "partition" in Help and Support in Vista, maybe you'll find your answer in there

Vista has a built in "Shrink" function that will let you make C drive smaller. Can then create an additional partition(s).
