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.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       vcrop accepts the following options:

       -help	      Prints a message describing options.

       -in infile     Specifies a Vista data file containing the input images.

       -out outfile   Specifies where to write the cropped images as a Vista data file.

       -top row       Specifies the first (top) row of the cropping rectangle.

       -bottom row    Specifies the last (bottom) row of the cropping rectangle.
