Yes ... absolutely preferable to back up. Anyway, go back to HDT, 
select the drive and then select add or create volume in the menus 
(can't remember, don't have HDT on this machine, but it's there). You 
will then get a window allowing you to select how much of that free 
space to use, what to name it and what format (HFS+ etc.)
