Right click the space you want to parition and choose New Logical Drive
Thing is it sizes in MB instead of GB. If you want 2 partitions divide the number of the Max Disk Space in half and type that in the slot. If you want to partition it into 3 and divide the total by 3 and type that in the slot. Afterward it will show all the rest of the HDD as unallocated and you can start the process over again by right clicking in that space and choosing New Logical Drive to make the next or last partition.

It didn't change anything, I changed the boot priority but the drives are still 0 and my main is 1. I don't see anywhere in here where I can rename a drive.
I checked everything several and there is no option to change drive numbers in bios. |

OK, you may not need to change it. When you use SATA HDDs I think Windows choose the one with the OS. Since you don't have another OS insatlled I don't think you need to worry about it.
When I said name ... I meant the partitions. You will get a chance to do that when you create them. You can name them anything. Or nothing in fact just the letter will be fine. You can name them later when they show up in Explorer.
