I have Vista Ultimate installed on a 300 gb hard disk. About 65 gb are used
and the remainder is free. Is there any reason why I can't boot Acronis
Disk Director from CD and take, say, 80 or 100 gb for a second partition?

In the alternative I could "Ghost" the existing partition with True Image 10
and then repartition the drive 200/100. I know that Acronis claims to be
able to shrink an imaged partition into a smaller space on restoration.

I'd like to do this and avoid the necessity of doing a complete fresh
install. All assistance gratefully received.
