Default partitioning on vista

inspired by the other thread, i decided to partition my HDD. Thing is, using disk managment on vista i cannot create a partition bigger than 75.71GB

On a 320 HDD this is stupid. Anyone know a way round this?

Cheers

I don't think the built in disk management system allows you to resize an active partition like Partition magic does

I can MSN transfer Partition Magic to you if need be
