Hi John, the reality is that there is no risk free resizing. I did many dual boot installations and most of them went perfectly easy for computers that have only preinstalled windows. The resizing software refuses to do anything if NTFS doesn't appear clean. The newest status with Vista is here http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html#vista -- Regards, Rajko M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
