I'm on W7 now, and wanted to have Windows XP too.
So I decided to make another partition and install XP on that.
But the problem is I can't shrink the volume, it will give me this error all the time.
The Virtual Disk service and everything connected to that is enabled and running.

^Thats the error.
You cant shrink the OS partition from within itself. To shrink that you need a 3rd party app like Paragon disk suiteI'm on W7 now, and wanted to have Windows XP too.

With this program you can do it: BEST FREE Partition Manager Software for Windows supports all 32-bit & 64 bit Windows No-server OS.
I'm trying to shrink D.
And I only have a few games on there :S.
But thanks for the suggestions, I will try it.
PS: When I try to make a partition the maximum size can only be 8mb..
That is not unusual for Disk Management. The MFT is in the way and DM cannot move it. That's why I suggested the program above.PS: When I try to make a partition the maximum size can only be 8mb..
Yes, I tried it, and it worked.
Thank you for all the suggestions.
