Hi,
with an template you have a container-virtualization (OpenVZ). Therefor you don't have a real hdd - only space on the host-filesystem.
If you need independet partition, you must use an kvm-guest.

Well, in fact that is one of the big advantages of containers (please use bind mounts if you want to mount other things).
