I tried to install openSUSE 10.2 on my test machine alongside the Vista Beta, but it kept complaining that the NTFS journal file was corrupt and it couldn't shrink the partition, so it looks like Microsoft might have tweaked something, either that or the partition shrinker in 10.2 needs some work...
Has a full defrag and chkdsk -f been ran on the Vista PC? I've had this issue with WinXP before and there was a prob with the journal that Windows had neglected to tell me about.

Yes, after it failed the first time, I did a chkdsk and defrag and then tried again, I got the same error. I only mentioned it because of the original comments on NTFS changing... I normally only use one OS at a time on the test machine, but as Vista on the test machine was the only Windows I had on any of my machines at the time, I had hoped to shrink it... I just imaged it and re-formatted the whole drive in the end. -- David Wright Wright Information Services Europa "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.
