Hiya,
When I received Dell Laptop, there are already four partitions in the laptop Harddisk.. 1. EISA Configuration (about 100 MB), 2. Primary Partition – I don’t know for what (2 GB), 3. Priimary Partition – C: ‘Vista OS’ (About 100 GB), 4. Primary Partition – D: ‘Recovery’... (10 GB)..
Now, I want to create one more logical partition – just for backup... I don’t know much about Vista & EISA – so please suggest how can I divide ‘C:’ into the two partitions – use the Primary one to install Vista (about 50GB) & remaining space for logical partition..? Is it possible..??
Please suggest..
Many thanks in advance, Sapan

Yes, but Vista apparently won't shrink its own partition, so you need to use a third-party program like Acronis Disk Director or BootItNG. I use Disk Director so I know it will do what you want. You can use it 30 days for free, according to their website.

Back up to another partition? It makes no sense. You back up to an external

device, or at least to another hard drive. Should your main drive go south, it makes no difference which partition it is on, they all go south at the same time.

Backups or images should be external and should always be the preferred or recommended when dealing in an absolute sense. If you're like me you probably have/had backups/images now or at one time or another on slave drives, external usb drives and/or cd/dvd media.
Its also fine to deal in the practical sense with a backup to spare partition then copy to external(usb drive, cd, dvd). The practical approach has the disadvantage of not being available if the drive dies, yet until that happens the reality of not having to deal with external media(especially in the op's laptop or travel situation) certainly can warrant the approach.

Charles & Wilson,
I agree that its always safe to keep back up on external drives - which I do as well..
But, I also keep one extra partition on 'laptop' - which helped in past as welll to take urgent back up when my my system-files got corrupted..
