    Not Able to Create Partition (Shrink Volume Issue)


    I've been trying to set up a 2nd partition to put a 32bit windows 7 on, but I can't.

    I'm following a tutorial, I get to this stage:

    But it's not letting me edit how much I want to shrink my drive by. Even if I manually put in a number, the "Shrink" button is gray and I cannot click on it.

    Can someone please help me fix this issue?

    It would be better, faster and safer to make and use a Partition Wizard Boot cd to perform your partitioning.

    Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.

    Post a shot of disk management so we can advise you.

    Is it giving you any amount at all to shrink ?

    It`s telling you to do a disk defrag. Have you done that ?

    Defrag the disk 2 or 3 times and try again.
