partition in vista

[westcliffe]

will anyone tell this thick silver surfer how to partition to enable me to put another operating system on my vista premium.

What are you hoping to achieve? If you want to boot Linux you can do it from a flash drive or cd.

However, does this address your question?

vista will dual boot - but honestly it's probably more trouble than it's worth.
In just about every case - Ideally vista goes on last
but if you are determined
here is how to resize the partition

and then if it's XP

but do consider my answer here

the virtual PC option takes a minute or two to get used to - but once the penny drops - it's so versatile (and much more stable)
