Partions in Vista.

Howzit guys,

I want to put Windows XP Professional back onto my syste, while keeping my Vista instlation in tacted. So, one would just 'shrink' the current volume to the side of the second partion. However, in Vista's little tool, I can't shrink it to no more then 1GB.

. So how else can I make another partion while keeping Vista happy?

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

Not compatible with Windows Vista, Sir.

Partition Magic not compatible with Vista?? Use it in DOS mode instead of running it from within Windows.

Backup first ---> Image the Vista partition to a DVD ( if it will fit ) or another HDD.

No, last time I tried that, I lost everything.

.

How do I do it properly in DOS mode?
