I finally completed the download for W7 RC 7100...woot!


All i needed to do was create another partition on my hard drive. one small catch...this error

Size of available shrink space can be restrected is snapshots or pagefiles are enabled on this volume (i can only shrink 1.3gb or my remaining 97gb)

...TT_TT please...what do I do so I can allocate 30gb of space.

What type of file system are you shrinking? What tool are you using to shrink?

I am assuming you're using the Vista shrink tool, right? Download the GParted live CD and use that to shrink. I've never had any trouble with it.
