Brian's telling here with Cena's calm and there are a lot of you out there that have access to Apple's OS 10 Yosemite beta program but you should not be installing it as your primary OS that would be dumb so I'm going to show you how to partition your hard drive in it's pretty easy all you have to do first is let's just jump into your Applications folder then find the utilities folder open that and the app you want to launch is Disk Utility now on the left hand column you'll see your listed hard drives and select the one you want to add a partition to we're basically separating the hard drive some people do this to load multiple operating systems and other people do this to organize their hard drive for a media file management now once you have selected the hard drive of your choice you'll see a few options on the right-hand side and you want to click on partition and we'll show you the current capacity of your hard drive and if you look at the bottom corner you'll see a plus button to add a partition click on that and you'll now see two partitions and you can slide this bar up and down to create the size of the partition you want based on how much hard drive space you still have available OS 10 Yosemite takes about 15 to 20 gigs so you want more than that you'll also be able to name this new partition as well when you're good to go hit apply and voila your hard drive will now be partitioned then all you have to do is when you run the OS 10 Yosemite beta installer is select a new partition you created as the destination and booyah you can now run the OS 10 beta side by side with Mavericks on your other partition I'm Brian Tong for cnet.com and there's your how-to far partitioning your hard drive on a Mac use it wisely
