Excuse me, do any of you know how I can create a partition on the hard disk?
I tried with Gparted, but it won't let me make a partition that is smaller than the size of my disk.
Yes, to be precise, run live usb, run Gparted and then 'unmount' the partition - you should then be able to resize the sda2 partition (make it smaller), then create a new one after it.
