vista still use's NTFS partitions, think they ditched winfs at the last minute. someone might need to correct me on this. so you should be able to use the old tools like partition magic (even though i hate it!!)

Yep, they still use NTFS. I am not sure Partition Magic will work though.

Ok guys, well I'm reformatting my computer now and have backed up my data. I want to create a partition when installing Vista now, how can I do that? I know it's possible to partition the hard drive when installing a new OS right?

 

[MikeEnIke]

In XP it's simply an option when it asks to install, you just hit "create partition" however, I'm not exactly sure with Vista, but look for an option like that.

Use the System Rescue CD available here

Made my partition a while ago formatting now. Thanks for your help though! I really might be leaving Vista soon though.

Good Luck, why would you be going away from Vista? Although I can think of many reasons I am just wondering.
