Vista doesn't need partition magic, it has it's own partition utility
built in.
So if you want to install linux, open up the vista partition utility,
squeeze the partition size down for vista and then install linux. Linux
will find the space.
Also, no reason why you can't just wipe vista and put xp on there if you
really don't want vista.

I did basically the same thing a long time ago with Partition Magic and OSXL
boot loader. I resized the Windows partition, created a small one for OSXL
and used the remaining space for linux.

Subject: [WISPA] OT......Question
Sorry for this one guys. Everyone knows I'm an RF guy not a network
guy so hence the question...and it is wireless in nature....sort of....
I bought a new laptop for one of my guys. It of course has the
dreaded MS Vista on it. Is it possible to partition the hard drive,
delete the OS on one partition and load XP without doing anything to
the Vista OS??? If yes is there a freeware or other program available
to assist my non-OS compliant butt??? :-)
If you want to reply offlist thats fine.
Tnx.
