Partition help!

I tried to make a partition so I could install gOS, but I can't make a partition larger than 1MB for some reason. Can someone please help me out?

We need a little more info - what when where and how ... software used to make the partition, what OS where you making the partition with, or was it a boot DVD, what did the disk look like when you tried to make the partition, etc. etc.

I am using (Vista Ultimate)RED [Had the same problem on 7]
I am using the Start > Computer > Manage method
I am trying to make a partition for gOS or the RTM of Windows 7 (when it leaks)

Hey ikilledkenny.

Go into Disk Management, and post a screenshot of it. You probably need to shrink your OS partition.

I only have 1 partition, and it's for the OS. I'll switch back into Windows and get a screeny up.

I've already cleaned up stuff...

But that's the problem, I can't shrink it more than 1MB

You must have a file at the end of the partition thats preventing you from shrinking it more than 1 meg. Try defrag, and maybe it will move that file out of the way.

How much free space is on your partition?

There are free partitioning programs out there that should do a better job for you.

I hate that MS included this tool and made it near useless in your case. Its ridiculous that you have free space and yet can't shrink it more than a meg. WTH???
