Hello,

I have a toshiba laptop with vista. I did a first shrink on C: with good
results. But now, like others, I cant go further down. I downloaded
PerectDisk 8 and did several defrag (after reboot), removed temp files, used
with admin level the powercfg -h off command, my pagefile.sys is about 16Mb
(small than if turned off!).

All this and still impossible to shrink a 79Gb partition (C:)... My last
resort is acronis but I need to buy it and I would be fustrating to do this
just to get starting with this new laptop!

I see in the stats of PerfectDisk few blocks at the end of the partition
that are MFT and Metadata... The software can't tell me what files (path) are
associated with these few blocks... that are blocking further shrinking!

What can I do?

If I need Acronis, is the Free Trial version with this limitation still ok?
They say:
Only partitions of the minimum size (1 cylinder ~ 7,8 MBytes) can be created
(both in Windows and in rescue mode)

Thanks!
