Want to have partition on external hard drive

[XSI]

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.
