    Well, I just got home very happy with a 500GB external hard drive :D . Got a good deal at BB. To make a long story short, The HDD for both the External hard drive and my notebook don't have any unallocated space. How can I shrink the volume on these if it doesn't even give me the option to. This might be a stupid question but I really haven't found a solution. Thanx in advance...
