Have you created the new partition ? ..... if not, go to Control Panel/Admin Tools/Computer Management/Disk Management .... you should see unallocated space, with which to create the partition.

sorry for taking my time responding philthomas, when i look at the c drive from my computer it has about 90gb of space, when in disk management it shows 127gb and no unallocated space so it seems to have disappeared

Can you describe exactly what is shown in Disk Management then .... in the Central panel's upper and lower windows.
It sounds to me as though you have successfully shrunk the C: Drive, but not created the new partition, but it is difficult to advise you properly, without seeing what you are seeing
