I am trying to shrink space on my 'C' partition using the Vista Disk
Management program. I have 54.15GB of free space.
However when trying to shrink the 'C' Volume, the program tells me that I have 0MB of shrink space!!!
I have done the following:
- ran disk clean-up on files from all users
- disabled system restore
- cleaned up restore points, and
- defragmented the disk
Any suggestions? Arrrgh! I get frustrated with these things! Can anyone shed some light on this?

Although system restore is turned off, you may have to ‘unallocate’ the space or, at least, some of it.
Open an elevated command prompt by clicking the Windows Orb (Start) > All Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’. To display the current parameters type (or copy and paste) “vssadmin list shadowstorage” (not the quotes but the spaces) and press Enter.
Change the allocation by typing (or copy and paste) “vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=0GB” (not the quotes but the spaces) and press Enter.
Then run the diskpart command after booting from the Vista DVD.
