If you are using nortons it will dump your infrequently used files at the end which will give your partioning software the impression your drive is full.  Try either telling it to place all files at the beginning (or alternatively, none at the end) or remove it and then run normal defrag which is a little more time consuming.  It thinks it is doing you a favour by doing this but it is a pain in the ass.

1) are you using Norton 2000, dumps stuff at far end of drive
2)run defragment and try again?

You probably have all of your drive partitioned already. (This is always the default if you don't do�the partitioning yourself)� Get a non destructive reparation tool (Partition Magic) and try that.

Hey Everyone,
��� I keep trying to partition my hard drive so I can use Linux, but when I do so, it says that the last cylinder of my drive is full. So it thinks my entire drive is filled up, which it isn't. I have a 27.3 GB Hard Drive which I've maybe used 5 GB of. It's definitely not full! I need help!!! PLEASE!
