no need to download any software....just go to the disk management and right click the volume.....then press 'shrink the volume'....you are asked for the space you want to allocate as free space.....ok

i did this, but now there is another problem my 140 GB partition in which vista is installed did not let me reduce de partition less than 72 GB, although more than 110 GB is free.
it said shrinking was not further possible due 2 space reserved 4 page file

is the page file so big???
