New Partition

I just setup a partition on a single drive. I used 30 gig for the server OS.
What do I need to do to partition the rest of the drive?

If you mean you want to re-partition the existing hdd, you will need a 3rd
party software - Partition magic to do the work.

if you want to partition another hdd (secondary hdd), then you can do it in
Windows 2003 Setup or Computer Management (correct me if I'm wrong - it's
been long since I've done this - right click My Computer -> Manage).

Yes, creating partitions there are two ways

1) in "Disk Management" (in computer management)
2) using diskpart.exe on the command line

Disk Management was what I was looking for.
