partitioning question
I made the mistake of waiting too long before partitioning my 1TB drive on my new system. I defragged the disk, then opened up the W7 partitioning tool, and the smallest it would let me shrink to was almost 500GB, even though I have less than 80GB on the drive.
I'd like to have my OS partition as small as practical, have a big partition for data, and a couple of hundred GB for Ubuntu.
There is obviously some unmovable files that are not letting me shrink my OS partition any more, and I don't want to have to wipe the disk and do a re-install (this is a brand new Dell 64 bit machine) unless I have to. Is there a 3rd party app out there that might work better?
Can I find out which files are way out in the middle of the disk in case they can be deleted?
I have been looking at an app called Partition Wizard free edition, seems to have pretty good reviews - has anyone here used it?
thanks
