No, you don't. Drivemanagement from Vista will do it for you.

To the SYSTEM/BOOT partition?

I can't find any support for that online (but I'm still looking).

How? I'm under the distinct impression that you can't extend
the boot volume.

You need free space directly on the right from the systempartition.
Rightclick on the systempartition and choose Extend Volume.

Isn't everything to the right of the boot partition ?
The "boot" partition is first.
That's what makes it the boot partition....or does it read your pics folder,
and say...no , let me move on to the boot partition.
To the right? ? half of the disk space is always to the left.

Extend is greyed out for the system partition.

Excellent observation.
More are to follow, I assume.
Maybe if he flips the HD over....the boot sector will end up on the right ?
Or the left.
i think the boot sector should be right , left, right left....7200times per
minute.

For a test, I did it. The drive had have 4 partitions. First the
Vista systempartition, about 20 GB, second a Linuxpartition, 10 GB
and a swap-partition, 1GB, and a data partition, 1GB. With drive-
management I removed the 10 GB Linuxpartition, behind the system-
partition. I rightclicked on the systempartition and choose extend
volume. No problem at all.

It's greyed out for me. Which Vista are you running?
Are you using basic or dynamic volumes?
