You can make another partition in windows 7 just by going into disk management and choosing shrink volume.

In normal situations, Windows Disk Management is good enough to handle any partition operation and certainly for the job you have to do.
Installing a new second internal harddisk is peanuts for Windows, because partition "C" already exists, you only have to create a second partition "D" on the second harddisk.
In rare situations, it's good to have a partition manager on diskette or CD or DVD.
These rare situations are usually caused by an attack of a destructive malware.
When you can't boot in Windows anymore, your Windows Disk Management" is worthless and then you need a partition manager to repair your corrupted harddisk(s).
The worst situation, I've seen, was a user, who ran a destructive malware intentionally on his computer as a test, which damaged his harddisk.
After the attack, he couldn't
- boot in Windows anymore.
- restore an image with his Recovery CD anymore
- re-install Windows with his Windows Installation CD anymore.
Only his partition manager on CD worked and saved his skin.
In addition I also have a tool on CD, to zero my harddisks completely in order to remove any trace of a malware and to make my harddisks as good as new.
In general you have to be prepared for the worst disaster-scenarios and you have to do this, while you still can.
In most cases users, who don't care, will learn this the hard way.
