Repartition Hard Drive

What is the best way to add a partition to a hard drive in safe mode or in normal mode.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mansrm,

I do not think it would make much difference either way.

To add to Brinks post
Also please make sure you defrag hard drive before partitioning if tutorial doesn't mention it

To add some more, ensure you clean all the cr*p off such as internet history and temp files before defrag. Also a good time to do a backup.
