    Unable to Shrink Volume


    Just got an ASUS laptop.

    In Disk Management I want to shrink C: a small amount and use the partition for my data.
    But, regardless of what value I put in Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB
    I get The parameter is incorrect

    The size that is available to shrink is 45032 MB.

    I don't understand,
    James

    Unable to shrink volume

    I wanted to shrink my J: volume, but some error is showing up. I tried restarting the Disk Management and rebooting the system but it didn't work. And I wonder why one partition J: is showing three volumes there in the Disk 0. Also, when I try to optimize
    drives the J: volume doesn't show up there. What is the reason behind it and how can I solve this issue so that I can shrink the J: volume?

  4. Unable to Shrink Volume

    undo partition shrink

    Hi,

    If you accidentally shrink the volume of your SSD partition, there is an option to extend the volume as well. To extend the volume of your SSD partition, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard and select Disk Management.
    • Right-click the partition that you want to expand and click Extend Volume.
    • Select the amount of space that you want to extend.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
