how to resize my partition while vista says it has no space but there's space enough

I have a partiotn with vista ultimae on it, it's aroun1,3 TB big.
It still has around 700 GB free space.
I already reduced the virtiual memory size to 200 mb to make sure that
windows finds space but no..
It keeps on saying there is 0 space to use (and then suggest to have a look
at the virtual memory or at the moment'recordings'(i think with that is
meant systemreplacement, the replacepoints.
Should i remove those systemreplacepoints and where i they located?
And what about this: i just read that systemreplacement ony works with a
disk of at leas 1 GB, is that true?

Thanks for all your help,

Jerry

Re: how to resize my partition while vista says it has no space but there's space enough

Ok,
now, after having added the free space i already had to the c-C didsk,
i am now not at all able to resize the cdisk...!? The message: acces denied.
(first by the way i got the message logic station acces denied, didnot
understand that as i never created a logic station..) but now i just get:
Acces Denied..

This means i have now 1 partition (C) of around 1,4 TB.
And vista cannot make it some smaller..

There must be a failure somewhere and i like to know where ofcourse and how
to solve it, microsoft must have a solution for this?

Re: how to resize my partition while vista says it has no space but there's space eno

Hi Jerry. . .

Please run a Vista system health report along w/ msinfo32 and let's see if this can be figured out.

Perfmon (Health report):
START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | RIGHT-click on cmd.exe above | select Run as Administrator | the cmd/DOS screen will appear - type the following:

perfmon /report
It will take 60 seconds and the output will appear in an IE7 browser. Please save as an HTM or HTML file - you'll see the default file extension when you go to save it.

msinfo32
START | type msinfo32 & hit enter - save it as an NFO file (default)

Zip both up and attach to your next post.

Can you also get a screenshot of Disk Management, please?
START | type diskmgmt.msc - hit enter | be sure to expand screen so all can be seen

Thanks.

Regards. . .

Re: how to resize my partition while vista says it has no space but there's space enough

Just one more thing: i now installed the english language and i created the
logfiles as you requested. (the perfmno/report html file and the msinfo32
nfo file)
I just want to know:
1 is it save to share these files here in a newsgroup (other people, please
reply), how about my pc's security?
and 2, can i just add an attachment right here in the newsgroup?

when i had some replies, i will add them here today

Thanks already,

Jerry

Re: how to resize my partition while vista says it has no space but there's space enough


Sorry,

The second link in my last post doesnot work, to make it work i did this:
go to:
http://www.trancedidge.com/tmp/perfmon_report.nfo

and then: )!) rename/change the nfo into html, then you have the real
perfmon_report.html

Why don't you organize your thoughts and just start over with a new
