On OSX you can theoretically resize your existing partition and add another one with Disk Utility, but I would SERIOUSLY advise you backup your data somewhere else before you do that.

Hi Dj CalyCaly,

I did a quick google search to find this article on partitioning your hard drive > www.macworld.com, this should take you through the process.

To second phatbob's statement, i strongly recommend backing up your data as you will need to format the drive before partitioning.

Let me know if you have any problems :)
