How To Create Partition in Windows 7 & 8 Without Formatting the system

How To Create Partition in Windows 8 Without Formatting the system 


Windows 8 Disk Management built-in "Shrink Volume" feature supports to reduce partition size and generate unallocated space. Can you redistribute the unallocated space to any partition within Windows inbuilt disk management?
Step1: Right-click "Computer", select "Manage" and then click "Disk Management" in "Storage" folder to open Windows 8 Disk Management. Right click on the volume which you want to shrink and select "Shrink Volume" as below:
Step2: In the pop-up window, enter the amount of space to shrink. 
Then you can preview an unallocated space behind D drive. When you right click on it, you can only see "New Simple Volume" that allows you to create a new partition.
The new generated unallocated space is always on the right side of the partition in Windows 8 disk management. However, the "Extend Volume" can only extend the partition that has an unallocated space behind it. So the unallocated space which is not next to C drive can't be added to system partition.
