I have tried to partition my C Drive, both with Microsoft Disk Management, and a few other softwares.
But all the time I cannot shrink more than roughly 800MB, yet I have 99.9GB Free!! How can I create another partition of about 40GB on it so that I can dual boot? TIA

hey,
if its only to dual boot you have the option when you put the OS disk in the pc. aslong as you restart pc and have CD-ROM as second boot device then your ok. remember to press 'C' when prompt in setup and create your 40GB but this is in MB in setup install

I don't have the CD yet, I wanted to partition it first so that I could fiddle around with it and stuff.. I've never done it before and I like to fiddle with new things! haha.

It was a shareware, meaning i would have a trial version for 30 days or whatever then have to pay for full version..
All other trials I tried only allowed you to do certain things, like changing some of the properties.. you couldn't actually partition it.

ITS going to be hard to partition this drive as it looks like this drive has alreadly been formated by windows, ihad this problem a while back and it would only let me resize a tiny amount, i ended up using partition magic as i happened to have a full copy lying around, try paritionlogic seems good but use at own risk as you may end up losing your os and data as this boots indepentdly from the os

When I shrunk mine a few weeks back to put Linux on Disc Manager wouldn't do it.
