You mean create a partition? Try using the diskpart utility in Windows cmd.

 

In case you still prefer to do it the long way, using diskpart, follow these steps :

1. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator. Type diskpart and hit Enter.
2. Once you enter to the diskpart screen type list disk and hit Enter.
3. Now a list of the disks will be shown, type select disk x (the X is the disk number that has an unallocated space) and hit Enter.
4. Now, type create partition primary size=x (The X is the number that you got from the Free column on the previous step) and hit Enter.
5. After the creating is done, type select partition 2 and hit Enter.
6. Now that you are in the new partition, you need to format it by typing format fs=ntfs quick and hit Enter.
7. After that, type assign and hit Enter.
8. Then, type 'active' and hit Enter.
9. Now, your new partition is ready to use.
