Vista - free partitioning software

Yep-- which is the usual scenario here because people are trying to install
Vista and often don't have the extra box or HD--so Ranish would be ideal.
XP DMgmt is not fault tolerant--and he wants to dual boot and doesn't of
course have Vista on the box so can't use it's DM.

This works well.
