Cant Defrage below 11% fragmentation

[reznor12]

I am trying to shirnk my main partition down to 250gb freeing up 200 gb for ubuntu.

When I try to do so it is saying that i only have 81602 mb free.

I know i have lots more than that because i have just moved all my videos and audio data(180gb) over to my external HD.

I thought it may be a fragmentation probplem do i ran windows7 Disk defragmentaion.

My disk is fragmented at 11%.

No matter how many times a run defragmentation it will not go below 11%

 

I am completly at a loss as to what to do, any help would be greatly welcome

Defrags cannot normally move files over a certain size - if there are files that are say 10GB+ such as a bluray movie then it wont allow it to be defragged... I am pretty sure that there is an option somewhere, that will allow files over a certain size to be defragged..

 

Why are you trying to get 200GB for Ubuntu as Linux OS's use far less space than Windows ( well the OS anyway)

I realise I have been going the complete wrong way about partitioning. Thanks for the help anyway, I have sorted it now.
