Why can't I make a partition bigger than 1500mb?

    I have 26gb free on my HDD (C:) so why can't I shrink that volume any more? I want to create a 15gb partition to dual boot W7.

    I think if you defragment the drive, you'll be able to resize it. Not 100% on this though.

    Using shrink is sometime strange; the system has to have some free space to run or will collapse. You have to options:
    1. Delete files to make more space (temporary files, disable restore, disable swap etc) - NOT RECOMMENDED
    2. Use a free alternative for disk management (GParted, Acronis etc). You may still get warnings regarding the free space, but may work
