Solved Shrink volume error

[iegeezer]

Hi peeps,

I was looking to install Windows 10 preview as a dual boot option, so reading up online, it was suggested that I do a shrink of the volume to create ample space for Windows 10.

Anyway, I did this via Windows 7's diskmgmt. So I proceeded with the instructions. Before shrinking, my drive was 100GB in total capacity. However, afterwards, it is now only 75GB!

I've basically lost 25GB of my hard drive - what on earth just happened?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Nevermind, just realised the "missing" 25GB is actually an unallocated partition, which I need to create.
