Yes, with Partition Magic. By Resizing the existing partition and leaving
"Unallocated" space at the end of the existing partition. It's a major type
of change and has a moderate level of danger. It ( or any Disk change)
shouldn't be undertaken unless adequate backup or imaging is done first.

The existing drive/partition should be checked (Chkdsk) and defragmented
before you attempt a resizing.

Yes, Partition Magic will allow you to shrink a partition and make new
ones. Read the Partition Magic manual for exact instructions or look on
Symantec's website for tech support documents for that product.

Shrinking the partition with Partition Magic is quite straightforward. It is
a simply matter of dragging the 'handles' to allow freespace. Once you have
freespace you can then create a new partition. I suggest you take a look at
the Partition Magic user guide to see how it is done.
