Partitioning a hard drive is an effective way to manage the data stored on your hard drives. For example, you can store different types of files in individual partitions, which improves data security. I will offer two solid ways to create a new hard drive partition. Let's see the basic information about them.

The comparison table shows that EaseUS Partition Master will meet your demands without formatting the partition.

Way 1. Using EaseUS Partition Master

It is always the right choice to rely on a professional disk management tool to make a new partition on the hard drive. Let me introduce an all-feature free tool - EaseUS Partition Master, which allows you to make a new partition without formatting. Its user-friendly interface can significantly improve the efficiency of disk partitioning.

Download EaseUS Partition Master and follow the guide below to create a new partition:

(Skip to step 3 if your drive already has unallocated space.)

Way 2. Create a New Partition With Disk Management

Using the Disk Management tool is perhaps one of the solid options for most users. It's a built-in tool provided by Windows that you can complete many disk tasks, such as deleting the NTFS partition. However, you should format the hard disk after creating a partition. Here is how to do it:

• Disk format may cause data loss, so back up the whole target drive before making a new partition.
• Right-click on This PC > Enter "Manage" > Click Device Manager and run "Disk Management" as an administrator.
• Find the hard drive you want to partition, right-click on the free-space dominant partition, and select "Shrink Volume." Change the partition size and tap on "Shrink" to confirm.
• Right-click on unallocated space, click "New Simple Volume," and select "Next" to continue. 
• Set the size, drive letter, and file system of the new partition, and click "Finish" to wait for the format complete.
