That method has never let me down :-) Does Windows include a tool that lets you shrink the system partition on an installed box? I know you can't do it while running off that system, but what about something on their installation disc? I certainly wouldn't want to see people think they needed to go buy a $40 tool to do something that works perfectly fine with a free one. I've tested Anaconda's method myself with plenty of systems I cared about and suffered no ill effects, but obviously YMMV. Paul
