I am trying to create a new partition in Vista to reload XP (never should have deleted in the first place). Problem is, when I try to shrink the partition size, it will only allow me to shrink it by 1GB. The drive I am trying to shrink has 45GB of available space. Furthermore, I have defragged the volume, deleted all shadow copies, and ensured that no pagefiles are stored on the volume that I am trying to shrink. Ive been trying to use the built in Vista partitioning utility, but after that didnt work, I moved on to Acronis Disk Director (which gave the same error). Anyone have any clue of how to fix this? Thanks a ton.
