I installed openSUSE 11 onto an Asus R2Hv UMPC the other day which came
pre-installed with Vista.  As I wasn't really worried what the outcome
was, I decided to let openSUSE do all the modification to the
partitions.

The machine had a single 80GB drive partitioned as 2x 40GB.  OpenSUSE
then changed the partition info to (or there abouts):

- 25GB Vista
- 15GB Vista data
- 20GB openSUSE
- 2GB swap
- 15GB /home

The openSUSE installer altered the partition table, recognised Vista and
setup GRUB perfectly.  After the install I was able to boot into either
without any problems or loss of data.

I was thoroughly impressed.
