Wallace, I'm not familiar with any other partitioning software. How big is the hard drive? The older computers I've worked with have less than 100GB capacity, and partition in less than half an hour. Asante.

I bought a HP laptop last year, and they give you the option of creating *one copy* of a recovery DVD set. It creates about 3 DVDs for Windows Vista.
As for partitions, I've used the Linux tool GParted to shrink Windows partitions without messing them up. You'll need to boot from a live CD like Ubuntu. Then go to; System / Administration / Partition Editor
Asante.
