Windows 7 disk management utility does not allow the creation of simple volume:

Hello

I used the Windows 7 disk management utility to reduce my about 450 GB C drive at about 210 GB. While I try to convert the volume unallocated resulting in a new simple volume, it fails with an error message indicating the space is insufficient on the disk (s) to complete the operation. The original disc was almost empty, while I performed the shrink operation. What is the problem here?

Try one of the two utilities listed below. I think you will find they work better.
