I created two partitions when I installed Vista 64 Ultimate. Unfortunately,
Vista installed itself in the second partition so I am unable to extend the
partition. Is there any way/tool to move/copy the Vista boot partition to the
beginning of the hard drive.

No, you'll have to start over and install Vista on the desired partition to begin with.
I'm not saying that you can't, but it'd be a helluva lot easier to start
over again.
There are a lot of people who would take the challenge just to prove it
could be done. There's the boot manager to contend with, drive letter, and
who knows what else. And most likely 3rd party software involved.
Carey,
I build my new computer from components purchased at NewEgg.com. I purchased
an OEM version of Microsoft Vista 64 Ultimate. Will I have a license problem
if I do a clean reinstall of Vista; ie.. create a new full size single
partition and do a full install? Is the number of installs (activations???)
on the same machine limited by Microsoft???
Thanks,
You can reinstall your OEM version of Windows Vista as
many times as you wish, providing it is installed on the same
computer. If you are unable to activate Vista via the internet, then
select the option to activate by phone.
No, even with the OEM version, you can reinstall / activate as many times as
you wish on the same system. If it has been less than 120 days since you
last activated that version, you may need to use the telephone option when
you activate.
