every detailed step will be appreciated as i am new to Linux |
Creating windows partition from linux is no different than creating a linux partition. Just have to partition as NTFS or FAT32 (as you wish). Use GUI tools like Gparted or PartedMagic instead of command line if you are not comfortable. If you use GParted, the steps are self explanatory. You have to select partition format as NTFS/FAT instead of linux's ext3/ext4 formats.

ntfs partitions
Just a small addition: if you are using ntfs partitions under Linux, it would be a good idea to install the package ntfsprogs so that you can run ntfsfix after an unclean shutdown. Otherwise, your partition my only mount read-only. If you don't have ntfsprogs you would have to boot into windows to sort it out.
Run the code: Code:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/xxxx |
