Impossible to reduce C:

I hope you could help me.

After narrowing C: and create a new partition, all the partitions became vibrant with the Simple layout. Now I can't shrink C: any more that 90% of it is free. I tried to use diskpart from a command line and Windows interface. There is no available space to shrink. What I could do about this problem?

You will need to use a 3rd party utility and this one is as good as no matter what...

  • Impossible to reduce new volume allocated to install dualboot windows 10

    Original title: dual boot retractable ssd

    I ssd 256 GB installed windows 7 .i have now 108 GB of free space, but I can not shrink again volume allocated to install dualboot windows 10 telling me that you can reduce only 7 GB why?

    Most likely not moveable system files.

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731894.aspx

    Excerpt from the URL link: additional considerations when you shrink a partition, the files not movable (for example, the file exchange or the shadow storage area) are not automatically relocated and you cannot decrease the space allocated beyond the point where the files not movable. If you must reduce the partition further, move the swap file to another disk, delete the stored shadow copy, reduce the volume and then replace the disk paging file.

  • Cannot create the new drive and impossible to reduce c drive I want...

    My laptop disk management displays the following information...

    (1) healthy OEM 14.75 GB partition
    (2) 200 MB Healthy (System, active, primary partition) (containing the system files)
    (3) c: in good health (start-up, swap files, dump, primary) (which contains Windows) total 421 GB, free 400 GB (which contains Windows)
    (4) D: sound logic GB 29 disc
    I want to shrink the C drive in 30 GB and want to do at least 3 drives more. I also have linux in the D drive.
    so when I want to shrink C drive, then it shows the size of available shrink space in MB 212653 and total size after shrink 219284MB. This means that my C drive will at least 219284MB. but I don't want that.
    Another problem, when I tried to create a new simple volume the following error comes.    You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions.  What can I do?

    The existence of files across the disk will limit the amount by which you can reduce the volume.  You can defragment to reduce this, but there will always be property files that will create a limit for you.  I had to do a full install in a 70 GB partition for Windows CE - with my first attempt to install, I could not it less than 250 GB even if I tried to partition when installing Win7 had finished.

    I think you'll have to decide a complete reinstall to resolve the issues, but that's just my opinion.  During installation, choose the option to partition the drive & set it to create a partition that is not less than 70 GB and Windows will install fortunately in this.  You can then use the rest for a partition of data user files.

    You don't mention your brand of PC, but even once, as Palcouk said, you will have some facility in order to safeguard the partition image factory of the manufacturer of the PC in DVD or USB [Dells certainly have the USB option for this].  Fix this before whatever it is that you will destroy this partition when reinstalling and might also do so just try to move partitions.

  • Impossible to reduce more than half my drive?

    I have my virtual ESXi 4.1.  My virtual has a size of 261 GB drive.  It will only allow me to reduce my 130 GB drive.

    I disabled pagefile and deactivated snapshots.

    Is there anything else that can be a non movable file?

    Trevor

    I think that this is expected behavior. Check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2020591

    You can still use VMware Converter to resize the virtual disks, but it is not as effective as the native shrink function.

  • Impossible to reduce Windows 8.1 VM

    Hello

    I'm currently experimenting Fusion 6 and made a VM Windows 8, which I've updated to 8.1. then I used the drive inside Windows to delete my install files and logs. Now, Windows reports that 17.9 GB of space on the drive is used. However, the VM resumes 30.9 GB on the hard drive of my Mac and I don't know the reason for this discrepancy?

    After having turned off the VM, "Clean Up Virtual Machine" is grayed out in the settings and none of the drive is marked as recoverable. I also tried running the command: "'disc VMwareToolboxCmd shrinkonly ' within the machine virtual but only recovered 0.2 GB this. "

    I'm running Windows 8.1 using an EFI boot and an extension SATA drive that is not allocated in advance or divided into 2 GB files.

    Any help to reclaim this space or explaining why I feel this would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I managed to decrease the virtual machine of 35.09 Go Go 13,76.

    To do this, I had to go to the virtual machine, and then type the following in a command prompt:

    CD C:\Program VMware Tools

    VMwareToolboxCmd.exe drive retractable c:\

    So running VMwareToolboxCmd.exe drive shrinkonly instead of shrink c:\ was the problem for me.

  • BitLocker Drive preparation tool - fail

    Hello

    So, I try to activate bitlocker on my laptop drive encryption, which is already running Vista Ultimate x 86.  I was not initially intended, and I knew that if I wanted to later, I could allagedly use the Bitlocker Drive preparation tool, so I built it with a single partition.

    Now, I want to activate bitlocker, so I downloaded the drive preparation tool, but I when I run it, I get the following error:

    "The bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool cannot find a system of target drive.  You may need to manually prepare your drive for BitLocker. »

    So I search and find this article kb http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933246

    I tried to manually specify the system drive by running the command line: ' BdeHdCfg.exe - target: shrink - newdriveletter x: - size 1500-quiet - restart ", but she just runs for a few seconds and then returns to the command prompt, so I check the event log and find an entry under the logs event observer, applications and services, Microsoft, Bitlocker DrivePreparationTool, Admin and found events (event error 1 id) similar to what I saw in the GUI of not find a system drive.  Under the operational event folder, I found event ID 4104, "a volume did not meet the requirements for a target volume. Volume: C: reason: impossible to reduce the target volume of the requested size. "

    So in the above article, my error message with certain proposed resolutions: "temporarily disable the hibernation option and disk paging. Then, use the Windows preinstallation environment to remove the file Hiberfil.sys and Pagefile.sys file. Restart the computer in Windows Vista. Then run the BitLocker Drive preparation tool. "OR"reinstall Windows Vista. »

    So of course, I tried the first suggestion, disabling hibernation using "powercfg-h" off and delete the hiberfil.sys file, disabled a swap under System properties file and deleted the "pagefile.sys" and restarted.

    Always the same error :(

    Is the second action plan 'Reinstall Windows Vista' serious?  I want to activate the drive encryption, should not be this hard.  I don't think that requiring people to reinstall just because an application cannot function in a reasonable way to be an excuse...

    Hi benneh,.

    In the article you posted there are two different scenarios listed that could cause the error message:

    "The bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool cannot find a system of target drive.  You may need to manually prepare your drive for BitLocker. »

    In your post you referenced scenario 2 and the steps you took to solve it, but you reference scenario1 which is as follows:

    Scenario 1: You do not have enough free disk space to "at least 10 percent of the active partition must remain free after the partition size is reduced by 1.5 gigabytes (GB). To resolve this error, move the files to another partition or delete files. »

    Just to be sure that it is not the reason for your question; After subtracting the reduction in size of 1.5 GB for your total hard drive space always need it the 10 percent of free space on the active partition?  Please let us know.  Thank you.

    The explanation of the error posted by Aman (which you could have gotten for yourself) is quite explicit.

    Rather than SHRINK TABLESPACE, you should RESIZE the underlying data files.  You will not be able to resize below the HWM.

  • Work integrated but inaccessible to the file map data...

    Then, I got a pdf of 80 work plans but I was in a crisis and I made a hasty decision and I regret it insertion of pages in the document outside the Illustrator.

    The unfortunate result of this is in part what do you expect, I can change is no longer the document except page by page.

    But the file size is huge and impossible to reduce because what I wasn't expecting, is that all the editable content AI is still there. It is just inaccessible. As in, I can't delete it either.

    It seems to be on page 7. This idea is based on the fact that when I use a script to open several pages at once (it includes the content of each page and puts it on a work plan), it begins to freeze on page 7. If I'm patient enough to wait through the gel, everything is there, only pages is on the artboard, the other 79 appear in gray.

    But if I open just the page 7, art is there no more.

    So... is there something I can do to get rid of redundant data to save this file? I can't have this rampant file size.

    Moreover, he of course ruffle my feathers I can't call an agent of technical support in this regard.

    You can share the file?

    Perhaps extract pages in acrobat format?
