Kiddix Platform Installation Guide for Microsoft® Windows Vista™ -- Screenshot Guide



Open Control Panel




Select '
System and Maintenance'






Select 'Administrative Tools'






Select 'Computer Management' and when prompted to continue select yes.






Select 'Disk Management'






Right click and select 'Shrink Volume'




  • On the 'Shrink C:' window, there will be a spinbox that says 'Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB.
  • Select the amount of space you would like to allocate for the Kiddix Platform in the spinbox.  The  number displayed here is in MB **.  10240 MB is equivalent to 10 GB
  • Click the Shrink Button to resize your partition






At this point you have successfully created some free space on your harddrive for Kiddix.





  • The Kiddix Installer will show the 'Existing free space' on the drive.
  • In our example we can see there is 10.01 GB free.  This is because we resized the drive to have 10 GB free space and there was 0.01 GB existing free space beforehand.
  • Under the 'Install Size' spinbox you will not want to enter a number greater than the number reported by 'Existing Free Space'.
  • We recommend that you choose a number that is slightly less than the 'Existing Free Space'.  Here we will choose 10.00 GB (slightly less than 10.01 GB).
