I am trying to create a new hdd partition on a secondary backup drive that does not have my primary vista 64 os on it.
(On this secondary drive - I would like to have two partitions)
Anyway in comp mgmt I am able to shrink the existing partition to allow enough space for a new partition. When I try to create a simple volume from the unallocated space into a new ntfs partition, vista wants a new driver to format/create it.
I have tried directing it to the system32 folder and the drivers subfolder but it didnt find it.
The Seagate hdd I am using says there are no downloadable drivers on their web site bc windows will provide all the files.
How do I get vista to locate the driver for this hdd partition?
Tnx
