새로운 하드 디스크나 솔리드 스테이트 드라이브(state drive) 를 손에 넣었을 때 가장 먼저 해야 할 일은 파티션을 나누는 것입니다. 즉, 데이터를 저장할 수 있도록 하나 이상의 파티션을 만들어야 합니다. 이 작업을 위해 타사 도구를 사용할 수 있지만 Windows 운영(Windows operating) 체제에는 파티션 디스크도 처리할 수 있는 도구가 포함되어 있습니다. 따라서 내장 도구만 사용하여 Windows 의 모든 드라이브( (Windows)HDD , SSD 등)에 파티션을 만드는 두 가지 방법이 있습니다.
참고:(NOTE:) 이 절차는 모든 최신 버전의 Windows(Windows 10, Windows 8.1 및 Windows 7 )에서 동일하게 작동합니다 .
디스크 관리(Disk Management) 를 사용하여 Windows 에서 파티션을 만드는 방법
가장 먼저 해야 할 일은 디스크 관리(Disk Management) 를 여는 것 입니다. 빠른 방법은 검색하는 것입니다. 그러나 이 자습서에서 설명하는 모든 것을 찾을 수 있는 다른 방법도 있습니다. Windows (모든 버전) 에서 디스크 관리 도구 를 여는 9가지 방법.(Disk Management tool)

- diskpart - diskpart 도구를 시작합니다.
- list disk - 시스템에 설치된 모든 디스크를 나열합니다. 파티션을 생성할 디스크의 번호를 기록해 두십시오.
- 디스크 선택 X(select disk X) - 새 파티션을 만들 디스크를 선택합니다. X 는 사용하려는 디스크의 번호여야 합니다.
- create partition primary size=XXXXX - 디스크의 여유 공간을 사용하여 지정한 크기(MB)와 동일한 파티션을 만듭니다. XXXXX 를 원하는 크기로 바꿉니다 .
- assign letter = X - 이 명령을 사용하여 방금 만든 새 파티션에 문자를 할당합니다. X 는 사용하려는 드라이브 문자여야 합니다.
- format fs=ntfs quick - 파티션을 사용하려면 포맷해야 합니다. NTFS 파일 시스템을 사용하고 빠른 포맷을 수행하는 것이 좋습니다 .

2 ways to create a partition, in Windows (all versions)
Whеn you get your hands on a new hard disk or sоlid state drive, thе first thing yоu have to do іs partition it. That means that you must create onе or more partitionѕ so that you can then storе data. Although you сould use third-party tools for this task, the Windows operating system inсludes tools that can handle partitioning disks just as well. So here are two ways to create a partitiоn on аny drive (HDD, SSD, etC) in Windоws, using only built-in toоls:
NOTE: This procedure works the same in all modern versions of Windows: Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
How to create a partition in Windows, using Disk Management
The first thing you must do is open Disk Management. A quick way to do it is to search for it. However, there are also other methods, which you can find all described in this tutorial: 9 ways to open the Disk Management tool in Windows (all versions).

If you have free space on your hard drive, you can use it to create new partitions. You should see the unpartitioned space highlighted and labeled as Unallocated or "Free space."

NOTE: If there is no free space on your drives, but you are not satisfied with the partitions set on the, you could delete the existing partition to free all the space they occupy and then create new partitions as you see fit. However, note that deleting partitions means losing all the data on them. If you want to read more about this subject, see this guide: Two ways of deleting a partition, in Windows, without third-party apps.
To create a partition in the unallocated (free) space, right-click or tap and hold on that space and then click or tap on "New Simple Volume."

The wizard asks what size the partition should be. Enter the value that you want, in megabytes, and then press Next. Note that you can use all or just part of the total available free space.

Then, you can choose to "Assign a drive letter," "Mount in an empty NTFS folder" or "Do not assign any drive letter or drive path" for the new partition. You should probably choose to assign a letter to the new partition so that you can see it in File Explorer and Windows Explorer as a separate drive. However, for special circumstances, you can also choose one of the other options. After you have made your mind, click or tap Next.

You are then going to be asked for some information regarding how the partition should be formatted. Keep in mind that, if you wish to use this partition, it needs to be formatted. In most cases, you should choose to use NTFS. This is the default and preferred file system in modern versions of Windows, providing increased performance, security and fault tolerance when compared to FAT32. For more information, read this article: FAT32, exFAT or NTFS? How to format SD cards, memory sticks, and hard drives.
If you do not want to format the partition, select "Do not format this volume" and click or tap Next. If you do want to format the partition, select the second option, using NTFS as the file system and keeping the default Allocation unit size. It is also a good idea to label the volume, not only to recognize it more easily, but also because it is a required step if you plan on sharing this partition with other devices running on different operating systems. The Volume label always shows up next to the drive letter in File Explorer and Windows Explorer. Once you have made all your choices, click or tap Next.

When the wizard is finished, you are brought back to the Disk Management window, where you see the new partition as it is being formatted. This process should take only a few seconds, but it depends on the size of the partition and the speed of your hard disk or solid state drive.

Now you can close the Disk Management tool and start using the new partition to store data on it.
How to create a partition in Windows, using PowerShell or Command Prompt, and the diskpart tool
If you prefer the command line instead of a graphical interface, you can use the diskpart command in Powershell or Command Prompt. Start the one you prefer, as an administrator, and then run the following commands, each followed by Enter (on your keyboard):
- diskpart - starts the diskpart tool.
- list disk - lists all the disks installed on your system. Write down the number of the disk on which you want to create a partition.
- select disk X - select the disk on which you want to create the new partition. X should be the number of the disk that you want to use.
- create partition primary size=XXXXX - creates a partition using the free space on the disk, with a size equal to the one you specify (in megabytes). Replace XXXXX with the size that you want.
- assign letter = X - use this command to assign a letter to the new partition that you just created. X should be the drive letter that you want to use.
- format fs=ntfs quick - to be able to use the partition, you must format it. We recommend using the NTFS file system and do a quick format.
