Way off topic here, but I just mangled two new Toshiba laptops to make use of that 100g drive and had only one samll gotcha when shrinking the XP Pro partiton: I had to use DFSEE to re-write the MBR with a Windows signature to get it to boot after shrinking it. Like Al, I found that I couldn't get the NTFS partition as small as I wanted, but the shrink worked on both - one that had been booted and updated, the other that had never been run. -- Will Honea
