| | Re: Shrink Volume Yes, while there is alot of space available 30 gb out of 60, it won't allow me to shrink at all as there are some file near the end. I have used to differeent compression programs, and shut off paging, but still an't do it?

| | Re: Shrink Volume Bill, You can force it to shrink by entering the amount of space to shrink in MB. Experiment with it by Entering 10,000,000 MB ( that's 10 gb) I have done this without losing any programs. I wouldn't go below 40 gb for your OP size. -- Jerry One thing money can't buy, The wagging tail of a dog.
