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,

Vista's repartition function isn't great though. I tried to diddle with the partitions on the wife's laptop and was unable to get C: down to the 50gb I wanted; I believe I had to settle for like 75gb/150. There was only 10G on C:, so I know Partition Magic would have done it.
