Partition/snapshot/pagefile disabling HELP!!!
Hey guys, I want to partition my C: drive. It has 222GB of space. I want to split it to a new drive with 200GB. Now the issue is that I want to transfer all of my media data (music, movies, video, photos etc) into the new partition and keep the C strictly for windows stuff, settings, and programs. My media contains about 105GB of data. Where it gets tricky is that 118GB is being used (105gb being my data)104GB is free. It will only let me shrink up to 95GB, I'm assuming anymore than that will cut it close to what needs to be available or whatever. So what I want to do is create the new partitionof 95gb, transfer as much as I can, which will free up the c by another 95gb. then I would want to shrink the c more, but it limits me to a very small amount, even though I freed up 95 more gb, it will only let me shrink it by only 10gb or so, and on the bottom it says "Size of available shrink space can be restricted if snapshots and page files are enabled on the volume" what the does that mean and how do I disable it? and if i do disable it would i be able to do what i need to do?
Basically I can't shrink what I want to shrink. But even when I do shrink an extra 10GB, it wont let me extend the new partition by 10GB"
