Unable to shring volume Server 2008
Posted on 2012-12-24
I need to shrink the D: Volume on a 64Bit Server 2008 R2 system; 500GB with 121GB free space. I only need about 40 GB to increase C: volume size
Shadow Copy is disabled and there are no Page files on D:
The utility in Disk Manager reports size of available shrink space is zero

And dont forget that evan AFTER you shrink the volume, the free space will be at the END of the disk, not next to the C: Partition so you will need to use a third party tool to move partitions around.
Your best way, if you have a drive available....
Add temp drive, move all data from D: drive onto temp drive
Delete D: Partition
expand C: Partition
Creat new D: Partition
copy data back from temp drive and remove temp drive.
