+1 - just decline the installation when prompted, you'll be dumped into 
maintenance mode where you can shrink, expand, and slide partitions hither and 
yon.

Don't expect blistering performance.  Since no drivers are needed, all disk I/O 
is done with BIOS calls and some BIOS can be very very slow...

BTW on the repeated mentions of gparted here - I tried the gparted live CD 
recently and used it to shrink a Vista system partition.  When it was done 
Vista wouldn't boot.  A Vista recovery CD was able to fix that.  To be fair, I 
haven't tried the exact same operation on Vista with BootItNG yet but I bet it 
would have been OK.  Never had any problems when BootItNG modified system 
partitions for 2003/XP/2000.

Try BootIT NG (www.terabyteunlimited.com)  Even with the trialware, you can 
resize the partitions for a bootable diskette.
