Apparently, it includes tools that allow it to shrink the NTFS partition on the fly (yes, I'm keeping a windows partition around). Quick guide: - search for partition in the control panel, click on the disk management tool that goes with it. right click on the selected partition, and choose shrink. -since I'm lazy, I also created an extra partition in the liberated space... so that I don't have to muck with fdisk later... works like a charm.
