    Default HDD Partition.

    I am thinking about partitioning my C drive on my Vista OS laptop. There is no unallocated space, so I think I need software. Anyone got anything?
    Requesting suggestions for new sig.

    You should be able to use gparted, assuming Vista doesn't have something funky in the disk formatting that they haven't updated for yet. Create a live CD, and you should be good to go. Worked fine for me on XP.

    One thing you might want to be careful about, sometimes laptops have a "restore" partition (Dell uses these, I believe) in place of sending you actual Windows and drivers disks, while others (HP does this) may have partitions for quick-boot DVD players.
