Hi,
When I installed Vista, I foolishly only left it 20 GB of space, and left 70 GBs for XP. The partion manager in Vista is unable to shrink the XP partition. I would like to format the current XP partition, and the reinstall XP but on a far smaller partition(10 GB).
The current plan is to format the XP partition from within Vista and delete the XP entry in the Vista Boot Loader(using VistaBootPro). Then to run the XP installation and install it on the new clean partition.
What will I have to do afterwards to sucessfuly again dual boot Vista and XP like I do now?

Hi
I am having a problem with the guide. I followed the instructions and all went well until i booted back into Vista. The actual booting into Vista was fine, however when i tried to boot back into XP the machine said \ntldr is missing...

I fixed the problem, i manually copied the ntldr file from the windows xp i386 cd directory.
