The problem started when I first realized I really needed to partition my drive. I first tried Vista's Disk Manager. It seemed to think there was no space on the drive - so I followed a guide and defragged my drive. It worked, well, kinda.
"Access is denied."
Was all I got after selecting C:\, entering an amount to shrink and hitting that big 'Shrink' button.
So, yet again I turned to the internet and used diskpart.exe. It all went fine, I selected the drive, the volume, and amount to partition..and waited.

"Diskpart.exe has encountered an error - access is denied. Please view your System Event Log for details."
Please help me.
