You are having the Windows 7 operating system in this new desktop computer and this hard drive which you are connecting to this new desktop is from the older computer system. May be because of the the windows is not able to complete the partition of this second hard drive. Although you have not mentioned that which method you are using for the Partitioning of this Samsung hard drive. Because there are many ways to partition the hard drive of the computer system.

If you are getting the problem in creating the partition on your computer system which has the Windows 7 operating system then i think you should format and partition this Samsung Hard drive by connecting to some other computer system. Because this is the one way left for you because your computer system is not able to partition this hard drive. I think there is some problem in your system with this Samsung hard drive that is why this type of the problem is coming.

For doing the new partition on this Samsung hard drive go to the my computer, after that select the drive that you want to partition , right click->Tools tab-> disk -> Defragmentation.
Now Disk defregmenter window will appear , select the drive and select the Defragment option. Select the quota for each drive which you want to create. This will properly partition the Hard disk as required by you.

You can do the partition of all the hard drives connected to your computer system at the time of the Operating system. If possible for you to reinstall the Operating system again in your computer system then i will recommend you to do that. Otherwise if you cannot afford to do that then you should contact to the Computer engineer for this issue. He will solve this problem very effectively and take the appropriate method to resolve this problem of the Hard Drive partition of the Samsung 160GB Hard Drive.
