How to tell if my hdd has shadow copy storage area?
HI, I want to know if my non-system F: drive used for storing just data has this shadow copy storage area. And if yes how I can remove it.
A quick explanation of what it is would be nice as wel.
Why: I want to run TrueCrypt to encrypt the whole F: drive and its data. But the dang software keeps telling me it cannot shrink the filesystem on volume F:. Did some reading and found out Windows disk management cannot shirnk a partition if there are unmovable files. For example the shadow copy storage area used for whatever.. (I wonder if this also holds true for any existing $recycle.bin folder). So I want to know if my F: drive has this and if so could I move it or delete it. Thanks.
