I’m using Vista Ultimate and created an extended partition using diskpart utility in the command prompt. I made an error of not indicating the size so it ate up all the unallocated space of my HD. I would like to shrink this extended partition. The partition is still empty but what confuses me and stops me from simply deleting this in disk management snap in is if I can recreate it.
I get an alert that “this is an extended partition. The partition will be inaccessible if you delete it. are you sure you want to delete this partition?”
Does this mean that I cannot recreate a partition at all and not use all that HD space ever again? Is there away I can just reduce the partition without deleting it and having unallocated space again?
