I used diskdrake or whatever to shrink the XP drive on my laptop. It 
worked out great and cost only time and a couple of CDRs. Both systems 
work fine and the 70 bucks saved was nice also.

Having an equivelent on an FC installation disk or utility disk would be 
great for those that buy new computers and don't want the bother of 
re-installing XP, instead of just shrinking the disk partition down to size.
