Once Windows is instaled, you have to use an app such as PartitionMagic

like anchi said, you won't be able to partition the drive windows is installed on, however, you WILL be able to work with any other patitions or unused space that are available..you can do this by right-clicking on "My Computer" and then clicking on manage..under storage, click on disk management..

You will need to install service pack 1 and windows will see it all.

Is the partition formated? If you go to control panel - admin tools - computer management - disk management you can format or create a logical drive.
