Unable to locate volume after shrinking partition
Hey Folks,
I am trying to dual boot my Surface Tablet but am unable to find the volume after shrinking the main partition twice.
Disabled Bitlocker
Shrank the volume 15 gigs from my OS partition
Unable to find the volume
Did it again with the same result
Unable to find it using WMIC as well
I'm out 20 gigs on my drive at this point and appreciate any help you can provide.

Try buying factory recovery disks & starting from scratch.

What did you shrink them with?
Does a tablet have things like Disk Management, or a command prompt you could run Diskpart in?
