Disk Management is a destructive method for repartitioning already existing 
partitions & volumes.  If there a way to leave most of the drive 
unpartitioned, you'll be able to later use it to create new ones without 
hurting the existing OS drive.  But if the current install already uses all 
of the drive, it will have to be destroyed in order to create the additional 
partitions you need.

The free third party app I suggested yeaterday can resize it to make room 
for additional partitions without destroying the data already present on the 
main drive.  Disk Management cannot do that.

Peace,
Gman
