[QUOTE="Goji, post: 1666762, member: 357368"] [b]iDefrag solved it[/b] Hi All, I had the same problem while trying to create a partition. It used to prompt : "Partition failed with the error: The partition cannot be resized. Try reducing the amount of change in the size of the partition." I solved it by using iDefrag 2.2.4 . This tool showed that my harddisk was heavily fragmented and thats why the OS had no space for a contiguous memory chunk to create a new partition. Once I defragmented the harddisk, the partitioning was successful. The whole task took 30 min and the problem was solved. Hope this helps. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
