    i ran into similar problem. within windows, you can use paragon partition manager. But I just did a clean install and partitioned it during vista setup, my system got cleaner & faster as the result... it took me 3hrs or so including downloading & installing all the drivers & updates though.

    You burn the image to a CD and boot from the CD. It'll boot into linux and give you a GUI where you can resize/delete/create/merge partitions of many different file systems.

    just a tip, never use Partition-whatever unless you KNOW EXACTLY what you are doing

    ^Sorry about that. I've used GPartEd on multiple machines, desktops and laptops, without any problems. You did select the correct file system right?
