| Want to have partition on external hard drive
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 on my Sony laptop with 80GB hard disk. I recently brought 80GB hard disk and want everything over my new hard drive. I connected it using external case through USB port. Is it possible to have two partitions on the hard drive? Do I need any software for that? |

You may need to use some cloning software or as such tool to get the partition on external usb hard drive. Just Google it and you will find a lot of cloning tool on the net. |

Thanks for your prompt reply. Now what I want is On original 80GB hard disk, I want to increase the partition size of C drive from 20GB to 35 - 40GB and rest of 40GB as drive D. Or create a new third partition of 20GB on this drive. On second 80GB hard disk (which is external), I want 20GB and 60GB as two partition. Is this possible? Thanks in advance |

Yeah you can change the size of the partition (either increase or decrease) by either using some cloning software or using vista feature. |
