[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1720991, member: 46727"] Not really enough information but here are some things learned from past forum posts regarding the same subject: 1. Are you trying to partition while the drive is mounted? If so, you can't do that without booting from a separate drive containing iPartition. I believe iPartition even tells you that in its instructions. 2. Repartitioning a boot camp partition (further partitioning it) will likely lead to destroying the Windows 10 boot sector. 3. There is no need to create a "common data drive" (if that's what you're doing). Just download, install, and use Paragon NTFS from your OS X partition as that will give you full access to all your Windows data from OS X. And yes, many folks have tried what you've tried and wound up having to reinstall OS X and Windows. ;D PS: Make sure you backup both your OS X partition and Windows partition before attempting anything else.
