I have got my system with vista ultimate. Do you know if I can use partition magic 8.0 to partition my c drive into two drives. Is there any other vista tools for that.
 
I also have a question about FireFox. Did anyone tried it on vista?
Cant weight to get rid of the ugly IE.

    Partition magic won't work on Vista. You need acronis disk director or something like that, actually, you can do it in disk management I think.
    As far as firefox goes, you'll have to ask someone else, I think it's a joke.

    Firefox is compatible with Vista. I've been using it on my Vista Ultimate installation and haven't had any problems. BTW, if you use the Opera browser, it is compatible with Vista as well. jimpac

    Use the disk management built into Vista, Any other tool that isn't Vista compatible may hose up your system. I have seen several systems where Acronis and Partition magic hose the partition tables on....
     
    Control Panel>> Administrative Tools>> Computer Management>> Disk Management
     
    From there you can right click on the partition you wish to change and Shrink or Extend Create, Delete... Pretty much anything you want to do. Even with the active partition you are running on. It has worked for me numerous times.
     
    Disclaimer:
     
    When working with the partition tables is is always best to Back-Up your data as data corruption can happen anytime.
