>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?
