steps to shrink C drive :

open computer management by right click on my computer and select "manage"

select "disk management" in the left panel and right click on C drive in right panel and select shrink. Now C drive will become half of the drive size after click ok.Now install on new partition.

NAME
plaintov - convert image from Vista plain file format to Vista data file SYNOPSIS
plaintov [-option ...] [infile] [outfile] DESCRIPTION
plaintov reads an image in Vista plain file format and writes is as a Vista data file. Plain file format, defined in Vplain(5Vi), allows a small image to be created entirely using a text editor because it represents pixel val- ues in ASCII. In a Vista data file, those pixel values are encoded in binary. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
plaintov accepts the following options: -help Prints a message describing options. -in infile Specifies the input file, which is in Vista plain file format. -out outfile Specifies the output file, which will be a Vista data file. -name name Specifies the name to be given the converted image. Default: ``image''. Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams. SEE ALSO
