I have a Hitachi 500 GB hard drive, and I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I am thinking of creating a new ext4 filesystem drive from some existing drive. This is to move my home directory over that drive. Just in case, I mess up with my system alot, so wanted to permanently move the home directory to a safe location.

Currently, my partition looks like this.

I would like to shrink ANY of the drives so that a new drive ~30 GB is created.

Thanks.

    The only drive you will be able to shrink is W you can use the same tool you show in your screenshot to do this.

  • @Ramhound The tool shown in the picture is Windows Disk Management, which's unable to resize partition. NEW: SORRY, it has the ability.

  • @Noverull - Of course it does I wouldn't have suggested it if it didn't.

  • I find you have many many files occupying disk. If you give 30G to new partition, then there will leave little. Do you like to do it anyway?
