I have a laptop Ausu U36JC it has 298 GIGS 233 of that is free, I am trying to create a partition of a 100 GIGS but when but when i try to shrink volume in disk management all the options are grey out. The reason for doing this is that i would like to dual boot linux and windows 7, try to make the move from windows to linux.

Total size before shrink in MB: 305242
Size of available shrink space in MB: 0
Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: 0 (wont go past 0)
Total size after shrink in MB: 0

Can someone please shed some light on this?

You can try out a few versions of Linux on one Bootux Bootable USB stick without having to change the partitions on your Windows PC or remove Windows. It's the easy way to multiboot.
