What is the simplest way to add a partition to the hard drive<<

Unless they've changed something recently, if you try it with Microsoft's
programs, (FDisk, etc.)  it will reformat your hard drive and delete
everything you already have.

There are several programs available that can create partitions without
destroying existing data...the one that comes to mind, and is probably the
best one,  is "Partition Magic".  http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/
If you look around, you can find versions of it for around $30.

It's shipped with some of the Linux OS software so one can use both Windows
and Linux on the same computer.

" supports - Linux Ext3 partitions, GRUB, USB2, and FireWire (1394)"
