Do you have space available for the size you want the second partition to be? You can also use partition magic...

Partition Magic will work!

PowerQuest's Partition Magic works really well.
As a precaution they recommend you have backups, and so do I.

Sorry forgot to say its an unpartitioned drive that I need to partition and it's on XP not vista
Unpartitioned? Meaning it's empty, or unused?
If so, then Use Disk Manager.
Right-click on My Computer, click on Manage.
Go to Disk Management and take a look around, it's pretty straightforward. Experiment a bit first tho.
PowerQuest's Partition Magic does, or used to be good, until it became Symantec Partition Magic and became basically bloatware.
Paragon Partition Manager is good, or at least the older versions that don't treat you like a two year old anyway.
There's another good one I liked but can't remember it's name right now, normally use Paragon 8.5.
The Windows Disk Manager leaves some blank space if I remember right, not serious but annoying, and will give you a woefully inadequate MFT size causing it to become fragmented when you have enough files on the drive.
