Turn one room into two. Is it possible to make a sturdy wall without damaging the floor?
any wise people!?

...forgot...the wall shouldn't go across but should end in the middle of the floor!
Yes, that works fine. You can clamp the wall in place, that usually works very well. If the wall is going to be there for a long time, you should still expect that it will be noticeable in the future that it was there. Floors and wallpapers fade and wear...
Thank you Locke, but how do I clamp...wooden studs, steel studs...should I have something under the floor stud?
The partition walls I have built have been made of wood. You simply lay out a base plate on the floor, measure how long the vertical studs should be (subtract for the top plate), and add a few millimeters so that you get some tension in it.
I should add that the walls I have built in that manner have been in apartments with concrete floor slabs. You should check what kind of ceiling you have so that it is not damaged.
