trying to dual boot win7 , cant shrink partition proper
hi , new member here , great site , i had a quick look around , couldnt find an answer to this,
im trying to dual boot windows 7 beside my already installed vista HP , when i try shrink my c partition with the inbuilt vista partition tool , to create room for the windows 7 partition , it will only allow me to shrink roughly 2000 MB of the drive even though there is 45% of a 250 GB drive still available .
they reccomend at least 16GB of free space to install it
where am i going wrong , im a little confused ,
thanks in advance
edit.
i have defrag'ed the c drive and now i get this
