Yeah, I tried that but it only got me 587mb. Like Vista is taking up a 105 gig partition... I think what&#39;s happening is that there are files at the end of the partition as well as the front. Don&#39;t know. <br><br>-Peter

The only<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; problem is<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; that for some reason neither my Gparted Live cd nor my gentoo
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; live cd can<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; resize the partition. I&#39;d reinstall everything, but Compaq<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; doesn&#39;t like<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; providing OS restore disks, and instead put all the data on a<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; separate
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; partition. Most likely the restore disk will just setup the same<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; partition<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; scheme as before anyway. I&#39;ve tried using the Vista disk<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; partition utility,<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; but it could only give me 587 mb in between the restore and OS
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; partitions.<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; It&#39;s annoying, does anyone know how to fix it? I&#39;ve tried chkdsk<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and defrag<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; already, but to no avail.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The first thing I&#39;d try is zipping the contents of c:\ drive&gt;dvd,
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; recreate<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; your partitions and unzip to the smaller c:\ drive. I know this<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; would work<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for ntfs. I know nothing about Vista though, and I&#39;m fine with that. ;)<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -jm
