1. How To Shrink A Database (newbie)

After receiving a response to How Do I Shrink A Data Device, I now realize
that you cannot. I should, however, be able to shrink the database, back it
up, reallocate the data device, redefine the database to the smaller size, and
then reload from the backup.

The problem is:
        When I Edit the database the datasize is 800MB with only 65MB used.
        When I run dbcc shrinkdb(dbname) it show that the minimum size is
          878MB!! (data and log).

Does anyone know why it should be showing that as a minimum size??

Thanks.
