Thanks a lot for the info. Can I do it from Windows 7 professional 64 bit.

If so which is the best way to partition the Western Digital 3TB External
Hard drive into Primary and logical partitions
Total No. of partitions I want to have is 8.

3 or more for installing operating systems and the
rest for data storage --Extended or Logical Partitions.

In one of them I want to have Oracle database to install
(Free from Oracle --for Study purpose).

I don't know what is extended or Logical. I only heard the name.
Iam not sure what they are.

Please help me sir.

Thank you
