If the partition doesn't already exist then you MUST backup your disk first.

Having done that you should partition the disk as you wish and then use format
on each of the partitions. Which means you'll need your MS-DOS floppies.

This is cos you can't re-install your backup until you've done the format and
as that's on your backup and on your MS-DOS disks you only have one choice!

You DON'T need to do the low level format again though. If you wanna know the 
reasons for the above I'm happy to discuss it with you..
