I think this is a beta2 bug which was fixed quite probably already before the final vista release. Beta releases work the way you describe. They make no sense so they get fixed. I suppose you still only used ntfsresize, and no partitioning was involved, which could indeed cause bootability problems. > Is reinstallation not the final (and in the case of Windows often the > only) option to get back to a working system after a partition was > "damaged"? Now you don't even have that option... Let's not speculate until we know what the final Vista does. Cheers, Szaka -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
