So, I first defragmented and then tried to shrink the W7 partition on Windoze. However, the 500 GBib disk is shown as having only 226 GB availability. What is in the rest of it? This is new and I have only logged in, not added anything. What would happen if I used the Fedora Installer (anaconda? ) to shrink? How does one do this without removing/erasing/damaging the partition?
My understanding is that it's safer, in general, to shrink ntfs partitions from within Windows. However, you might consider getting a live image of GParted from here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php making a LiveCD/USB and using that to see just what's on your hard drive and doing whatever shrinking is needed from that first. Anaconda may be able to shrink partitions, but I've never needed to do it and don't know how reliable it is. In any event, please make sure that you have a backup of that partition before you modify it.
