I am trying to create another partition (For Windows 7 RC) and now when I attempt to shrink the volume of my hard drive when it attempts to query volume for available shrink it fails and a window pops up and says "Catastrophic failure".

Can anyone help please??!!!

Thank you.

Yes, disk management. I right clicked on the hard drive and selected shrink volume.
