I'm trying to partition my 500GB spare Hard Drive into three sections

One for documents, music and videos
one for downloads
and the other for programs

I have a 64GB SSD as my boot drive + main programs like WoW and Css, but then i'd really like to partition this into three sections so it's more organised, because at the moment i'm confusing myself with which folder is which and stuff xD

I cant find a way to partition it without BUYING software :s which i dont want to do :\

thanks

I've googled it, before i posted here but they all require software which you gotta buy :\
and thanks :D I'll try the CD now :)


Edit:

I just tried to do it via the Windows 7 CD, but it only allows one partition of 100mb :\
Im quite annoyed that there isn't an easy way to do such a simple thing xD

This is the Windows 7 system partition, this is default, and hidden, so you simply create whatever size partiiton you want after that... It does tell you this, when you are creating your partition. In windows you wont see this partiiton and the C (w7) will be whatever size you made it.
