    Dual-booting with XP Home and Vista RC1

    I have 1 harddrive, 230GB, and have XP home on it right now. I want to resize
    this partition, to say, 190GB, create a new partition with this free space,
    and have Vista RC1 on the other 40GB partition. How can I do this? I know
    there's Partition Magic out there, but I was wondering if there is anything
    free.



    Thanks.
    Kyle

    BootIt NG from Terabyte Unlimited. They offer a 30 day full featured trial
    version.

    Fyi, RC1 expires June 1.
