Can you give us the specifics of your drive and partition layout(s) please? It's definitely possible to create new partitions after installing the operating system, but exactly what you need to do to accomplish that depends on how your system is currently configured.

OK- you've got one NTFS partition which occupies the entire drive. In that case, if you want to make another partition on the drive without starting over from scratch, you'll have to resize/shrink the existing partition with a utility such as Partition Magic.
