If the present install is working without problems then consider using a free partition manager to resize the partitions. Defrag first and back up. Easus is a free tool to do this job www.partition-tool.com	Terry Porritt (14)

Run>diskmgmt.msc From there, shrink the current system drive(C:) and expand D: Then, when you install Vista install it on D: Do not worry abotu drive letters. Vista will assign the system drive C: by default always. Does not matter if it was D: or such previously. Also-if you don't have any important data on both partitions, then just boot up your Vista DVD and delete both then make new partitions in the setup stage as you want.. Blam	Blam (54)
