Tried formatting the laptop and creating partitions in the format menu, but it showed random errors including creating new drives;
My sole purpose was to create a primary drive and another logical drive and thats it.
But it either makes them system/reserved or primary drives which is something i don't want.
I googled it and found that it can be done in disk management system in control panel, but it didn't work.
Then i tried partition wizard home edition, but the modify> set as logical option was grayed out.

If all you want to do is create two logical drives on a single physical disk, you should be able to do this in Disk Management. When you say "it didn't work", how exactly?

What you need to do is shrink the existing C:\ drive to create unallocated space. Then, you format this space and assign it a drive letter.
