Hello. Well you can create the partitions on your Hard drive by following some steps. There are a lot of way to create disk partitions. But recommended can be using Windows utility disc. It means that you need to do a complete disk partitioning by reallocating the size for per drive. You can set the size for each drive depending upon the number of drives you want to create.

Well there is a more simple and easy method for creating the drives without using the utility disc or through boot process. You have right click on the icon My computer. Then click the option of manage. After i is done you will get a window opened. The window will contain a option called Disk management. When you click on the option right click on the raw partition that will be displayed on the right hand side window pane. Then click on make new partition.
