Re: Partition question...

I'm running 64 bit vista. I found the easeus 64 bit version, but I can't
resize anything in the demo version. I also tried acronis, but you can't
do anything in the demo version. I'm not going to buy it as its
ridiculous to pay 50 bucks for something that windows should be able to
do on its own.

any other third party programs I can use? I tried using gparted, but i
couldn't figure out how to install it.

also, the partition is installed to the right of the free space. Very
nice of dell/windows to install a useless 15 gig partition on my
computer.

thank you all for your help

You don't install GPartEd. Download the GPartEd iso, burn it to a CD, then
boot from the CD.
