I recently bought a toshiba satellite with windows vista and would like to shrink the first (and for now only) partition from 230gb to about 60gb so I can make two other partitions, one for mass file storage and another for ubuntu linux OS. When I try to shrink the partition with Disk Management or diskpart, it won't let me shrink any less than about 150gb (it just occured to me, is it possible to shrink the volume with diskpart down to 60gb and reinstall vista on it?).<br /> Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>By the way, does anybody know why vista takes so much disk space? On my old toshiba laptop with XP and 30gb disk, I never used more than about 60% of it with programs like Solidworks, videolan, autocad, etc...</p> <p>Thanks again </p>
