http://www.tucows.com/ and type in "partition" in th "Search Bar"
or for Partition Magic 8.0 (which I recommend) for a free download for 30 days:

Put winxp CD in CD reader drive (cdrom) and reset the laptop. Let winxp setup load (if it not load automatically, reset again and press Delete button untill system setup load. in the boot menu put cdrom 1st. seek this setup to fined it if haven't boot menu and learn more about it. at last save and exit) in the winxp set up continue and read message until it give you hdd drives list. delete the c: and make new partition with every size you want. do not forget your hdd size is about 58000!!!! then install winxp in c:

The first partition should be done at the time of installing or formatting the hard disk. if not there will be only one primary drive ( Usually C: ). To part this you need program such as partition magic. Many manufacturer provide it. Like Norton, etc.

hai friend,
it was better to make partition before installing the os.
anyway , use partition magic pro.
install first and follow the instructions
best regards

Do you mean partition your hard drive?
If so, I hear good things about Partition Magic.
