Virtual Disk Manager
When trying to shrink a partition in Win7 x64 the following alert is given:
Virtual Disk Manager: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
How can I enable the service, and also it cannot be found in services.msc
Update: >_< The issue was the disk defragmenter service was disabled as I have an SSD however the virtual drive manager is tied to the service. Disabling disk defragementer will disable virtual drive manager which is required for partition shrinking.
That and two hours of fiddling yielded no solution but a single post to sevenforums resulted in an epiphany that revealed the answer
