| | Repartition Drive in Vista I succeeded at creating a new 2GB volume (formated as drive F) using the steps listed in the article provided in this article--http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/vistarepartition/. But when I try to create a 10GB volume, it tells me that I don't have enough drive space--even though there's more than 100gb free. Before doing anything, the C drive shows capacity 136 gb, 100gb free. I successfully used the shrink uption to get 10gb of unallocated space. Then I attempted to create the volume and assign a drive letter to it. But it tells me that there's not enough free space. |
