The snap-in disk mangement enable you partition hard drive, in your situation you could right-click the system partition select "shrink volume" then follow the wizard to realsae some unallocated space, then you could create new partition on the disk. Or you could use other partition software which offers you this basic operation. Below is a short video abou this, hope it could help you.
