WD External Drives External Drives for PC

I have purchased a Western Digital Passport 1TB USB 3.0 drive. I want to know whether  there is a way of partitioning the external USB drive into say four partitions of 250 GB each . This will be useful in organizing my data.

I am using Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Keep in mind that you wont be able to use the softare for the automatic backup.
