    Hello
    I was just wondering if I can take say 5 gig of my hardrive and turn this into a seperate virtual drive? I believe this may be called patritioning? I know absolutley nothing about this, so if there are some easy to follow directions for vista that someone can point me to that would be great. Oh and please let me know if there are any risks, or things I should do/lookout for before I do this.

    Thanks
