How to shrink and create new volume in your existing hard disk partition volume

    Shrinking is possible if spaces are available in other drives.

 

Steps: 

• ·         Right click on my computer and click Manage.
  
  
  
• ·         Then click on disk management.
  
  
  
• After clicking disk management you can see list of hard disk partitions you already have, then select the disk drive you want to shrink (look the present disk volume).
  
• A small window querying shrink volume will appear (wait till next shrink window appear).
  
• In the window enter the amount of space in MB you want to shrink.
  
• Click shrink.
  
• Now you will see the disk volume is changed after shrink and a new free space is available to create your new partition.
  
• Right click on free space volume and click create new simple volume, new simple volume wizard window will appear.
  
• Click next to continue.
• ·         Set volume size and click next.
  
  
  
• ·         You can assign the following letter drive or mount in empty NTFS folder (I assigned a letter drive name as “P”).  After that click next.
  
  
  
• ·         Then select format partition (quick format NTFS). Click next
  
  
  
• Now you can see the new volume “P”.
