Partitioning an external hard drive [closed]

"I have just purchased a 1Tb external hard drive, the reason being I am moving jobs and changing computers. I thought I could install all my personal programs and data on the external drive instead of on the laptop drive.
My questions are;
Should I partition the drive?
How many partitions and how big should the partitions be?
What should I put on each partition?
Is there a piece of software (preferably free or included in Windows) that I should use?"

Find Disk Management in Administrative Tools. That should help you partition your hard drive. The best thing is that it's built in in Windows and it's free.
