• You can shrink partitions and volumes using the Disk Management MMC console or the DiskPart command-line utility. This task requires an Administrator-equivalent user account.
• The rules for shrinking partitions and volumes are:
• Free space must exist within the partition
• Files are automatically moved within the partition as required
• Some files, such as the swap file or shadow copy storage, cannot be moved
• The partition or volume either has no file system or is formatted with NTFS
• If there is a high number of bad sectors detected on the disk, the shrink may be unsuccessful
