Hi, is there anyway to shrink the size of a partition without destroying the Windows and my files.
I have tried the shrink option in disk management but it only gives me 200mb, lol.
Hi, have you tried partition magic, I think you can do it using that.

It does say "Create and modify partitions up to 300GB* " so I guess you can.
Maybe try the trial or something ?
GParted will resize NTFS file systems and then the partition. However if the filesystem is already occupying most of the partition, there isdn't much scope for shrinking it.
All partition/filesystem operations carry some risk, so back up the disk before you try anything.
