There is no utilities that comes with the system which will allow you to
repartition the drive without losing all data and applications installed.

There are third party utilities like partitionmagic and bootitng that will
allow partitioning an existing drive without loss of applications and data.

If there is a large unpartitioned space at this drive -- you can add the
secondary partition to this space, and create a logical drive (or
drives) on it.

But if all the space is used -- you can repartition the drive with no
data loss using the programs like fully functional 30-day shareware
Bootit NG, www.bootitng.com, or commercial Partition Magic,
www.symantec.com

But in any case it is a good idea to backup all your data (documents,
photos) which can't be retrieved in the other way if something goes
wrong while repartitioning.
