Windows 7 won’t let me shrink Volume C on 1.5 TB drive to 200 GB

by 9shenandoah . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

I installed Windows 7 on a new 1.5 Terrabyte Drive composed of 2 750 GB drives set up as raid 0.
Windows 7 sees this configuration as one continuous C drive during the install.
I have only installed Kaspersky Internet Security in my programs. I haven’t put anything else on the C: drive.
I would like to shrink Volume C to 200 GB.
The Windows 7 Disk management tool doesn’t allow me to shrink C to a size less than 699.96 GB.
I can shrink the second 699.96 volume to smaller volumes. However I cannot shrink C past 699.96 GB.
I tried moving the Page File on C: to a new Volume E temporarily but that did not help.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience in this matter?
I don’t think the Raid 0 configuration matters–Windows doesn’e see that, am I right?
