Actually I have no idea why the other comments aren't showing up. They just aren't. They are listed in Disqus but not showing up here. I did not actively delete your comments.

Anyway MSRT is just there. Get Malwarebytes too if you want it. Even Microsoft says that MSRT is not a replacement for anti-virus software (or anti-malware). I don't have a high regard for any of the anti-malware programs personally.

Just to update: One of my customers ordered an XP disk and it cost them about $35. Also they said 3-5 days to get it and on the 5th day they called back and it still had not been shipped.

You are of course correct. I didn't mean to imply that Gparted in anyway broke anything. My main complaint, if there is one, is that Vista positions certain "immovable system files" that limit the amount one can shrink a partition. Gparted can get around this issue.

After using Gparted the partition itself was still intact but, and I'm guessing here, Gparted probably moved those immovable system files around to make more room to shrink the Vista partition. When that happened Vista got confused on the first reboot and ran it's Startup Recovery which does some magic voodoo and moved those files (like the pagefile) back to where it expected it within the partition. Then on the next reboot the Gparted check disk flag kicked off and found no errors I might add.

Gparted is a great utility and does an amazing job. Sorry if I implied anything else.

Ug, someone had commented here but sadly I lost the comment when I switched to Disqus. Sorry about that. It was my first comment too.
