Vista Resizing problems
ok, I have 145 gigs free on my hard drive, so plenty of space to shrink a drive, and I had Defrag run in the morning, but its says that I only have something like 120 megs to shrink... what am I doing wrong?
and PS - god I hate vista....
Update:
Has anyone used Paragon Partition Manager to resize a vista partition? and has anyone delt with HP's "Recovery" partition and such?

Use Vistas disk management tool to shrink the ntfs partition thus leaving "unallocated free space" to install Linux to. Can't help with the HP recovery partition but have done several Acer installs without problems with their recovery partition set up.

Thanks, I used a third party program to get it fixed up, so I am good to go
