Vista Partition Hard Drive

[ks47]

I just got a Sony laptop with Vista OS. I want to create a partition to enable another volume. I’m having trouble going through in disk management and using command line. Apparently the hang up is pagefiles or snapshots are enabled in preventing a larger partion of the boot drive.

Does anyone know how to remove this? Thanks for your help.

You may have to go with a third-party manager that works at boot time. I've used Paragon in the past and it has worked excellently. There are plenty of others, both free and paid, that you can check out. Search for "Hard drive manager vista" on Google.

Also, you can try this link if you want to stick with Vista's tools.

Thanks for your help. I’ve already tried that method using command line, diskpart. exe; I’ve also tried Fdisk, along with Disk Management. Something is preventing creating a partition.

I may have to resort to your suggestion of using 3rd party manager. All the advices make it seem so effortless to partition a brand new hard drive, but in reality as I read in different forums it’s not glitch free. I appreciate your help.
