I downloaded the demo of Paragon Partition Manager as I want to create a partition on my hard disk. I want to know if there are any risks in creating a new partition. Is there a possibility of losing all my data?

Yes, there is always a risk involved when splitting an existing partition.

Im pretty sure its easier to split a partition through windows...they have a built in partition manager i forget exactly how to get to it...havent done it in a longggg time.  The risk of losing or ruining your drive while doing it isnt that high...but yeah **** happens.  Dont be a **** technology is easy to fix.

The built-in partition tool (My computer>manage>disk mangement) only allows you to delete and create partitions. Not to merge or split them.
