I have a Vista Home Pre HP laptop and Im wanting to partition my hdd so I can install another os on it,
but when i go to disk management, right click on my C volume, and select shrink volume i can only shrink it 11376MB. Im wanting to allocate half my hdd to my other os but i only can do 11GB

How big is your existing hard drive and how full is it?

804081 2009-08-25 09:52:00 The reason it cannot go any further is because there are important system files that are unmovable there.

I suggest you backup your data before you do anything.

And keep your Vista CD handy, you may have to perform a startup repair if you are unlucky!
