    Unable to shrink the C drive beyond 455 GB

    I was trying to partition my 1 TB hard drive in new windows 10 laptop from HP by using disk management tool . I would like to keep the following partition sizes:

    C Drive : 200 GB

    D Drive : 400 GB

    E Drive : 300 GB

    However I am unable to proceed as the shrink cannot be beyond 50% and it doesn't allow Volume C to be less than 455 GB.

    Will I be able to successfully shrink it to 200 GB in c drive and does it have any disadvantages doing so?

    200 GB partitioned from my c: drive

    I partitioned 50 gb off my computer for Linux. When I went to the disk management it said that 200 gb were partitioned off for no reason. It said that all of the partition was free and was doing nothing. I was wondering what that was and how it got there.
    I have a 1 terabyte PC only have 700 gb to use.

    200 GB partitioned from my c: drive

    Hi,

    It seems like the issue occurs when you created the new partition. Could you tell us, how did you process the partition? Does the 200GB generate another drive or its unallocated space?



    For now, we suggest that you try to undo the partition and update us on the result.
