-How do we create drives on a hard disk(C drive,D drive)?

Using windows disk management (right click my computer on xp and choose manage. then on the left choose disk management)

Alternatively, create tha partitions during OS installation

If you have a pre-existing installation and want to create separate partitions using with different letter designations, I'd suggest using a third party "partition manager". It will let you resize, rename, delete, create, whatever you'd like to do, partitions on your hard drive.

I use Acronis disk manager, which is a paid program, but there are plenty of free ones out there with varying levels of functionality.

Vista now includes resizing as standard.

yes it does,but xp does not ! so only option it to use 3rd party partition tool or created multiple partitions when installing win xp
