My laptop has a 120g hardrive and I want to partion the hardrive to 20 gig to install Ubuntu on it. How do I do this?

I thought I read somewhere that Vista Ultimate was usppoed to have on the flay paritioning built in but I cannot find it. I would suggest a thrid party program to fix this like Acronis Disk Director.

Sorry had suggest the trial, it appears it will NOT allow full parition control in the trial.

Right click Computer > Manage > Disk Management.

^ Yep.

I didn't know it was a Ultimate feature, I was dicking around and found it. I was wondering if it was always like that for Windows and I just never realized.

The partition resizing is new in Ultimate, and available as a download for Enterprise if you call the MS Helpdesk I believe.

Using disk management I was able to shrink my Data volume and extend my system volume using Windows Vista Home Premium the other day. Is this what Vista Ultimate has to or does it have more features?
