Kurt, My experience has always been bad. My recommendation is Do NOT do it. Disable the hibernation mode to reclaim some space, if you haven't already. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730 Move the SWAP file to a different partition. (The hibernation file must exist on the boot drive) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307886 Move your data files (documents and other files) to a different partition.
