HDD Partitions

Hey guys, so I have a 930GB HDD storage and currently 892GB.  Here's what I want to happen, I want the 430GB just for C and the 500GB for the partition (Drive:X).  Thing is, I don't know how to do it since there's way too many numbers when partitioning and I'd have to guess it right to get exactly 500GB.  If anyone could help me, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Windows measures bytes in powers of two. i.e.,

 

Kilobyte = 2^10 = 1024

Megabyte = 2^20 = 1048576

Gigabyte = 2^30 = 1073741824

 

If you want exactly 500 GB (or GiB) you'll need 512000 MB, which I think that's the finest granularity most partitioning tools will let you do.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
