Hi Mark, This is getting off topic, but I was referring to good old win xp when I said that this o s did not come with prefab repartitioning. Because I'm not a win7 user yet, I didn't know that win 7 now can do the same repartitioning trick as a mac. Learned something yet again. Thanks. On Aug 6, 2011, at 8:01 PM, M. Taylor wrote:
