I have used it several times. Remember to defrag the windows drive
before attempting this. Also backup any data you wish to have. If not
properly defragged it is possible to destroy the Win partition's data.
On my latest I have windows running in a 1.5 gig partition, more for
importing files from a CrossPad than anything else, so I don't need much
space.
