Just setting up a new Vista Home Premium PC. Disk Management indicates
223G in drive C, with 213G available. But when I try to shrink the
drive, it shows only 112G available shrink space. It also says "size
of available shrink space can be restricted by snapshots or
pagefiles..."
Not sure what to do about snapshots and pagefiles, but I'd like to get
the drive to about 40-50G. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having the same problem as NachtWacht. Just purchased a 200GByte
Hd laptop. Used built-in Disk Management tool to shrink disk.
End result-> C:\drive is 162GBytes in size. Free space in C:\
partition- 110 GBytes
-> New partition free space- 69GBytes.
Is this a bug?
Ran vista defragment tool-
How do I 'free up' 80GBytes or so of free space in the C:\ drive for
the new data partition?
Thank You, Feedscrn
