Full Version: Vista Partitioning
Hey. I just got a new laptop from my college, and i want to dual boot osx with vista on it. i understand that vista has a built in disk partitioner and i tried to "shrink" my drive to add a new partition but, it only says i can shrink it about 1500 mb, when i have over 100 gb left on the drive. it said something about there might be restrictions on resizing cause of page filing being enabled. what is page filing and what are some solutions for me.

Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 will resize any partition regardless of what Windows complains about.
Page file size can be adjusted in System properties > Advanced > Performance settings.
