partition hd

I just recently built my first pc. I have 2 hd in it, one is 1 tb and the 500 g. The os is on the 1 tb that I just recently tried partitioning. I was able to create 3 partitions but the one the OS is on os around 500 g, I'm not home right now to get the exact size. the partitioner in 7 won't let me make the OS partition any smaller. What aftermarket partitioner would you guys recomnmend? Since it is 7 i didn't wnt to just jump in with gpart or magic.

Thanks Ed

Can you post a screen cap of what you see in Disk Management?

Do you get an error message when you attempt to resize?

Don't use a third party app unless you have no choice.

Easeus Partition Manager is one of the most up to date :)

I will be away from my home computer for a couple days, but will post screen cap then. I don't get a error, it jujst won't let me resize the partition.

thanks for the advice.

Thanks Jonathan
I'll give it a try.

I tried what you suggested Jonathan and I still can't shrink it. Attached is the screenshot.

Thanks

I use Partition Wizard Home Edition. Pretty easy to use.
