unable to partition my external hard drive

  • I have a 1TB USB drive with a single, simple, primary partition spanning the whole disk.
    I want to shrink and create a second partition. I tried to Shrink Volume in Disk Management. The wizard reported 450 gb available to shrink. I tried to shrink by just 200GB. No matter what shrink size I select it churns for an hour or two and finally reports:
    There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation. I run Windows 1o os.
    How can I get this to work?
