I'm just wondering how I can create/rename/delete/resize hard drive partitions. Its probably a noobish question but I've never done it before and I don't want to risk screwing anything up. I think I know how but I just want to make sure its right.

Also I viewed the help file for creating new partitions but I don't understand it.
"Right-click an unallocated region of a basic disk, and then click New Partition, or right-click free space in an extended partition, and then click New Logical Drive. "
Where can I find unallocted region of a basic disk?
If you have a new disk that has unallocated space (ie: not currently set to be part of a partition, so free space within a partition will not work), it will appear just like another partition. You can right-click the partition, click format (make sure that the partition is really not being used). Follow the prompts. This will only work with non-allocated free space. If the free space is within a currently allocated drive, it will format the entire partition, making you lose your data.

You won't be able to resize them without a third-party solution. Just the way the windows disk manager is.
I was going to make it bigger once I got the partition made, the 716.2MB is just from the D:\, I can still make my C:\ smaller. If the problem is it's not meeting the minimum requirement for a partition size then I can fix it.
