Hello,
Here's my problem: I try to resize my partition (the c disk it's called in this case) which is around 1,4 TB larrge. I use around maybe 200 GB of it for both windows vista ultimate and my files. I used to be able to just resize the partition with the vista build in tool for that. Now suddenly i get the message acces denied. Before that i got messages like : you are able to resize this certain amount, but when i would then do that i would also get the message acces denied (this time, it was acces denied to logic disk). I alreay reduced virtual memory and removed older systemrecoverypoints etc for making extra space but there's space enough as mentioned above. I hope somebody has understanding why this can happen? (and hopefully understanding how to solve it?) Jerry |

You cannot use the vista tools to partition the boot drive partition--only
the other partitions on the drive. Makes sense. Vista cannot partition itself.

You should be able "shrink" the OS drive via Disk Management - START | type diskmgmt.msc into the start box Left click 1x on the OS drive rectangular box. Right-click on it and select "shrink". Regards. . . jcgriff2 |

all your help didnot work..
but, i found EASEUS partition manager (freeware for home use) which was able to do the trick. but still my system malfuntions, if i'd go to the management console and go to the screen where to resize/epand, create partions etc, it's impossible to assig non used space to a partion..anymody suggestions for that? donot think so, wiill try to fix it with the program or reinstall vista. jerry "misterjerry" schreef in bericht ... i'll give that one more try but tried that already, it already says in the list then by the way that there's no free space (in the listing of the disks), was not able to schrink anything.. jerry "knightriderT" schreef in bericht ... misterjerry;120975 Wrote: Shrink: That's now the problem, i used to be able to schrink my partion through that screen you just gave me, but that doesnot work anymore, i get then: logical disk manager: acces denied..
