I am using a PC with Windows 8 installed on it. The present HDD is Seagate 1TB with partitions C, D, E and F. H is the DVD writer. I am now planning to install an additional internal HDD with 2TB capacity. My query is whether I can have multiple partitions like I, J, K, L, etc. on my 2nd HDD or whether it will be a single drive like H: having ~2TB space?

Do I need special tools for it or whether Windows 8 can manage that?

Windows 8 can do it but I would recommend you to use Third Party Tools like Mini Tool Partition Wizard or Easus Partition Wizard or similar. :)
