Hate to say this, but I think "you're screwed". The MS website clearly, and
specifically warns the potential risks associated with installing this "in a
production" or "main" computer environment. You might want to read up on how
others are installing it. The desired method is to install either
"virtually" or in a dual-boot environment. I spent $29, and got a partition
manager software to resize and move my free space on my c: drive, and then
create a new partition just for Vista. It seems to be working okay - 'cept
for all the damn security warnings.
Hope you can find a work-around solution.
