Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

Slicing a disk into partitions was done back in the old days, not so much anymore.

Just create folders. Then store data in each folder.

Are you installing programs on the second disk? This will create problems if you create new partitions and accidentally change the drive letter where you are now installing programs. You can fix this in Disk Management by changing drive letters. Just wanted to point this out.

You can create smaller partitions using Disk Management. Search for "Disk Management" using Cortana or Windows Search.

Select the 2 TB HDD. Right-click on the drive.

Select "shrink volume". Set the volume size desired. Follow prompts.

Then select "new simple volume" in unallocated space created above on the 2 TB HDD.

Set disk size and follow prompts to create new volumes until you have no unallocated space left.

I question why you want to do this.

Regards
