Split Partition-a special function of Partition Assistant, with the help of this function, you could quick partition one hard drive into several partitions.

To split partition

- There are two ways to split partition:
  1) Just from the keyboard input: select the partition which you want to split and then directly press Enter key -> enters a proper value as new partition size -> press Enter. You can also rapidly repeat clicking Enter key to split it into several partitions quickly and commit the changes by pressing Ctrl + Enter.
  2) Right-click one partition that you want to split, select Split Partition. In the pop-up window, move the mouse to the separation, and drag it rightwards or leftwards, to specify the size of the new partition and the original partition. Then Click "OK".

  For advanced settings. In the popup window, by clicking the Advanced button, you could specify partition label, partition type (Primary/Logical) to the new partition. More advantage is that if you are using Solid State Drive (SSD), you could align the partition by selecting SSD partition alignment. It could help you speeding up Solid State Drive's (SSD) read and write speeds, improving SSD performance.

- Immediately click System -> Apply -> Proceed to execute the splitting operation.

Note:

- When there are four primary partitions on a disk, if you want to split one of them, the partition that is being splitted will be converted to logical partition automatically.
- If one disk has four primary partitions, the program does not allow you to split the system partition or boot partition. Here, you could convert one of other partitions from primary to logical partition, and then the program will allow you to split system partition.
