    Can't create partition for Linux with Vista

    I just recently bought an HP Laptop with Vista Home Premium. It comes with two partitions already on it. One is a (D10.85GB Recovery partition that will allow me to shrink the size. The other is (C222GB partition that's labeled as Vista OS. I attempt to shrink the C: partition so I can have an unallocated partition in order to install SuSe linux. The problem is that it says I have no available shrink space. I can only shrink the smaller of the two and I have hit a wall as to why. I thought maybe it was the sharing over my network but I turned off the sharing and disconnected it as a network drive and still nothing.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!


    Thanks,
    Matt
