This screencast demonstrates how to partition a hard drive with the GParted partition editor. GParted (gparted.org)allows you to manage disk partitions graphically. It can be used to create new disk partitions, to shink or grow existing partitions and even to attempt data rescue from lost partitions.
The SystemRescueCd (www.sysresccd.org) is a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick that includes GParted amongst its many system tools. Many Linux live installation disks also include the GParted partition editor.
