Hi, I bought an Asus laptop with Vista preinstalled. I want to shrink my
Vista partition, but Disk Management tool refuses to shrink below 60 GB. The
partition (where Vista is installed) is now 60GB, with 45GB free space, but I
cannot shrink it further. I tried disabling page file, reducing shadow copy
storage area, disabling hibernate, but with no luck. The page file is about
2GB, the shadow copy storage does require about 15% of disk, so at max it
would be 15 + 2 + 0.15*60=26GB, add 4GB for data and we have 30GB max. Why
Vista needs another 30GB of my hard drive? If this is a bug, where should I
file it?
