Sub: After shrinking drive C, cannot allocate the new partition - Mightymike
Hi Mike, I just got my new dell lap top and had the same problem, but by going through your message and other's reply on the board, I got the clue and deleted the inbuilt 4th volume. After shrinking C drive it was simple to follow the guidelines of wizard. now I have only 4 drives which include mine marked F. So far no problem.
Thanks for your query which resulted in such a good response on the board. Good luck.
