Can't create 2nd partition on disk "Jurjen de Groot" <Jurjen.de.Groot[ at ]xs4all.nl> 6/22/2007 1:09:51 PM I've got a Dell laptop (XPS M1710), wich has a 160GB drive, created a 'c:' partition of 85GB during Vista Ultimate install, (a recovery partition of 10GB) and have 54GB of unallocated space. I want to create a new 'drive' of these 54GB, so I right-click on it, 'create new simple volume' (only available option) and go through the wizzard, and then after last screen I get the following message There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation. (I can choose quick format or not doesn't make a difference) I don't know how to get it done,can someone help me out ? TIA, Jurjen.

I confess I don't know why you get that error, but my advice is not to try to work around the error from inside Disk Manager. I would suggest you try a free download of Acronis Disk Director Suite from acronis.com and see what it has to say about your partition table before trying to change anything.
