No and it never will.
If you wish to save money and willing to use your brain a little, do
this: download the Linux rescue cd from:
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Syste...e-CD-188.shtml
burn the iso and boot from it, selecting all the defaults by pressing
enter. you know you are done when you get a message about mounting ntfs.
type startx at he prompt.
when x windows opens, close the automatically opened terminal
right click and select gparted
after few seconds yo will see a the gnome partition editor
you should see you hd there.
you can choose to resize, create partitions, what ever.
nothing happens until you click apply. you can always UNDO BEFORE you
click apply.
when done, close it and at the desktop right click and select exit
at the prompt reboot, and the cd light comes up you can eject the bootable
cd.
The utility is also great for making copies of you partition to an external
drive right before your next upgrade...:) just in case you want to go
completely back.
Let me know if you need help.
