Shrinking Vista Partition

The "Shrink Volume" option of "Computer Management" tool in Windows Vista would not shrink as much as you want it to. To improve the situation, one can download the trial version of PerfectDisk Professional and perform 3 different types of defragmantation :

• Consolidate Free Space
• Boot Time defragmentation

Especially the latter is valuable as it is able to move Vista's normally unmovable system files, substantially (though not optimally) increasing the amount of volume to be gained from the shrink operation. More info is available.
