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?
Right click command prompt and run as administrator. Run defrag <yourUSBdriveLetter> /X . This should move all your data on that drive closer together so you have space to shrink.
