Or, you can simply try the following if you don't want to buy third party
softwa

Make a full backup.
Make sure your pagefile is set to drive C: (This is typical)
Turn off Recycle Bin for drive D:
Turn off restore on drive D:

Now, resize the drive.
Turn restore back on for drive D:
Turn on Recycle Bin for drive D:

If this still proves difficult, set the pagefile to minimum (16MB), reboot
and try again. Then, set the pagefile back to automatic.

Restore files, garbage and pagefiles, for whatever reason, like to place
themselves at the top end of a drive partition making it difficult to change
the size. There are other "unmovable" system files that may put themselves
in this area, but not typically on a data drive. But, I've found this works
for the C: drive as well.

How to increase the shrink space.
I have lenovo Y410. Its hard Drive is partitioned in three parts: 20 GB
C Drive - primary drive where i have my OS, one of 117 GB D drive just
another partition for data and one more 10 GB for recovery.
What i need is to shrink D drive to 107 GB and create a new drive of
about 10 GB.
but the problem is that disk management says that it can only be
shrinked to about 2.6 GB ----So what to do....plz tell me. By the image

shrink.[image: http://openthelocks1.googlepages.com/query.jpg]
