When you have the partition manger open where it says Enter teh amount to shrink, use the down arrows and it will count down. Below will be the total amount after shrinking.

882959 2010-05-07 06:41:00 I have just installed W7 and Office, 16GB used up only .

The I tried to insert the figure 400000 but i won't work, it says ~235000 was the max .

Could you only do that before instalilng W7? I preferred to have a much smaller partition but 250GB abouts would suffice . . . . :)

882960 2010-05-07 09:15:00 The reason will more than likely be as Sweep said in post 12 - This for Vista, but the same applies to W7 ,there are a Few workarounds (www.howtogeek.com) BUT just be careful, other wise you will damage the system and you may have to start again.

I wouldn't be tempted to use gparted, read where it says "Using Linux to Resize" -- if you do, you may have to repair the startup.
