    I use disk management's shrink function, but it only allows me to shrink 6 gb, while I have a 80gb HD with 60gb+ free. I have tried defrag and even disable the pagefiles/virtual memory. Yet, still no improvement.

    Any other methods?

    Thanks!

    I used defrag.exe c: -w at command line.
    shows:
    volume size = 67.95gb
    free space = 60.45gb
    largest free space extent = 43.89gb
    percent file fragmentation = 0%

    But I still can just shrink only 6gb from c:!!!!!

    NO!!!!!!
