>In your new Vista, you can simply use Disk Manager for this. I did a little digging. With Vi$ta M$ changed the way drives have been partitioned for the last 30 years.
So any older partitioning utility will create partitions that fail to boot -- so don't use those anymore. Fortunately, starting with Vi$sa you can resize partitions using its Disk Management Console. That's an improvement. This is probably why you can't mix older OSs on the same drive as Vista and why they want you to format the drive when installing Vi$ta. It also means that running a Unix and Vi$ta off the same drive is going to be interesting. >From what I have read, M$ is not giving out much information about what has changed. Why am I not surprised? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
