Hello all,

I am running Vista Home Basic and have a 250GB SATA drive. I have tried
using various programs (Acronis Disk Director Suite v10, etc) to create a
second partition on my drive, but it's not working. It looks like the
partition software is working, but when all is said and done and I check the
drive nothing has changed.

Is Vista somehow protecting the hard drive from other software programs?
Any suggestions on how to split my drive is welcome.
