VISTA ITSELF HAs a resize option so no need for a extra DM,

go to manage when you right click my computer then to storage and then you will see how to do it .. click in the partition you want to resize and DO IT

inbuilt vista partition manager is not at all good. i tried increasing the size on c drive, but there is no option to do it on c drive... its not upto the mark....

as of now none of the softs r compatible wit vista.... even i use diskmgmt.msc only... too bad it doesnt support ext3 operations...

i had to uninstall vista & then install media centre & then install acronis disk director to resize partition then install vista after formatting my hard disk....
no alternative as of now to increase the free space on c drive where vista is sitting....

yes , i agree... thats what i mean by that. with vista alone u cant even shake ur hard disk here and there. u need to have other OS to resize ur HDD...
vista wont allow u to resize its root partition.... right???

Vista may not ever support Linux partition types.how can MS do such a thing?

EASEUS Partition Manager Home Edition is a free one, so it can not be used on vista. You can tyr PC tools which acclaim that they can support VISTA.Besides, I know that EASEUS will release a new edition which can support vista next in September. You can also have a try of it.

Is there any particular reason you have to partition inside Vista itself ?

If not, why not try Gparted ?

Shutdown, change settings to boot form CD, and try it. Once it is done, go back to Vista.

Get Gparted Live CD. That is free, opensource and will do the work.

Get it from - http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
