Default Re: Partitioning/Install Guide

Also, there is that partitioning app in Vista.... if you can find it. It took me about 27 steps to find it, so I won't try to tell you from memory. However, it is reported to be "safer" to shrink the Vista partition with its own tool. There is a command line tool in Vista (I think it is Diskpart - better google it) that will do the shrink. It gave me the same estimate trying both the GUI and command line.

I was not happy with the shrink proposed. It left a lot more room for Vista than I wanted. Clean out the junk and do a defrag before you attempt a shrink.
