You can try this <a href="http://partitionlogic.org.uk/">program</a> which is freeware, or you can try <a href="http://www.partition-magic.org">Partition Magic</a> which is what I've used with great success, though it costs a bit.
Good Luck!

==============
You can use the Disk Management tool if you are using Windows Operating System. However, it is not actually advisable to partition an external hard disk drive into 100 gigabytes and 400 gigabytes. Disk partition is best when there are equal storage space between partitioned drives or it is better to create just a single partition since it is an external hard disk.
