creating partitions

Thread needs solution

Could someone talk me through creating partitions.

I'm a little confused. I'm replacing my 250GB laptop hard drive with a new 500GB drive. Using the add new disk tool I'm being asked to create partitons. On reading the guide I'm informed tgat tge destination disk should not have partitions. So which is it and how do I create partitions if indeed I need to.

You don't need to create partitions in the vast majority of cases. Creating partitions can be a convenient way to organize the disk the way you want, but not the only way, since you can restore a partition pretty much wherever you want on some unallcoated space.
