Where can i find a tool to create a partion on my hard drive. (Perfable one that will run in windows or in dsl)

cfdisk comes with DSL. Run it using a terminal prompt.

You can find it in dsl. It's called fdisk

First, you need to know your hard drive device name.

Open an xterminal and type:

sudo su
fdisk -l

For most users, the hard drive is located at /dev/hda so you may be able to skip this step and instead type:

sudo su (if not already typed in once)
cfdisk /dev/hda
