    The MFT (master file table) is halfway the partition! And can't be moved when using C. So C can't be shrunk smaller!!

    Solution:
    Free download Magic Partition Manager Software, partition magic alternative, free partition magic, partition magic Windows 7 and server partition software - Partition Wizard Online
    Download the last one (bootable CD). You know how to burn ISO? You know how to enable boot from DVD in BIOS?

    I know how to do that, but I got it sorted. Windows only managed to shrink it so small, but that program you liked, the Partition Wizard, that shrunk it down properly.

    I now have
    -A 774.99gb partition of what I am wanting to keep, smallest size possible
    -791.79gb of unallocated space on the same physical drive as windows

    You didn't have to shrink G anyway. The partition copy operation i gonna explain later has an resize destination checkbox.
