I have a dual-boot OS setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
In the picture below, (C:) 376.14 GB is Windows 7, and Recovery (D:) is 21.87 GB is its recovery partition. I'm not sure what SYSTEM 300 MB is, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with Windows 7. The 37.65 GB is Ubuntu, and I believe the 11.17 GB is its swap space. Everything is on a 480GB SSD.
I'm trying to shrink the Windows partition and extend the Ubuntu partition. From the picture, (C:) has 121 GB free space, but when I tried to shrink it on Window 7's Disk Management application, it listed only 2777 MB as available shrink space. I'm puzzled, what's causing this and how do I shrink more memory?
Edit:
Here is the Application Log for Event 259:
