Shrinking partition

SeeKified · 14 Nov 2011 at 12:58

I'm trying to shrink a partition on my external WD Elements 2TB drive, but Windows 7 says there's no shrink space available (despite the drive having 1.3TB free) and GParted sees the whole volume as unallocated.

Ideas?

Try the freebie Parition Wizard from MiniTool.

Dude, you're my new favourite person on this planet. :eek:

Not only did Partition Wizard successfully shrink the partition and create a new one, it somehow made my NAS pick up the original partition which is never did before.

You sir deserve many kudos!

Only thing I deserve today is the massive hangover I helped create last night.... but thank you, appreciated.
