Greetings all...

Would anyone happen to know what the run commant for the Disk Partitioning
Wizard is?

It seems that when I open my Computer Management console to Disk Management
and click the mass storage drive that I would like to partition it does not
provide any options to partition it, it gives the option to format and
delete the partition but there is not wizard for creating a new partition.

Upon contacting Samsung, the manufacturer of the drive, they instructed me
that there should be a wizard to do this but it is not in my Computer
Management console. Therefore, I would like to attempt to open the wizard
via the run command.

If anyone has a resolution for this or know of an alternate method of
partition the drive it will be of great help.

The drive that I would like to partition is a Samsung SPN1614N internal
drive and my operating system is XP MCE.

To create a partition the physical disk must have Unallocated space.
If an existing drive shows no unallocated space you cannot create a
new partition. If you want to preserve any existing volume you'd use
a 3rd-Party utility like Acronis Disk Management to reduce or shrink
the existing volume in size. Then the unallocated space can be used
to create a new partition.

The disk partitioning software that is included with xp will only delete, or
format an existing parition, not resize it.
You will need a third party piece of software to resize it. ie Partition
Magic or something similar.

Acronis True Image for imaging software and Acronis Disk Director for
partitions creating/changes.
Great software and not to expensive.

In order to create a partition there must be unallocated (non partitioned)
space on the HD.
What does your HD show under Disk management???

As others have told you, there needs to be unallocated space to create a new
partition with the disk management console. Also, there is no "wizard" built
into MCE.

If you don't want to buy/steal Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director here
is a great (free) solution:

Specifically, the answer I was looking for was DISKPART. Unfortunately,
though I don't know what to do once I get there...

Thank you anyway, but I'm looking for a download that a little less
complicated, that doesn't require additional add-on downloads...

Any other suggestions?

You're better off with a graphical interface if you are not very
knowledgeable. Use the link I sent you for GParted or get Partition Magic to
make it much easier.

Type 'help' @ the DISKPART promt to see the options.
