I've tried before. It becomes a dynamic partition which doesn't get picked up in the Windows install.

I second that suggestion.
I always use an old version (PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0, before it was taken over by Symantec) so I don't know how the newer versions from Symantec are.
Anyway I never created rescue diskettes because I find it too much of a hassle (NOT RECOMMENDED) and it never screwed up on me :)

EDIT2: EDIT: jarrod fails failed at quoting

I don't think he had any intention of paying for the program anyway.

Why ask me..? I was just pointing out the obvious.

O.P. RE: Partition Without Reformatting
In the end, i started getting errors about BOOTMGR errors on boot up when trying to do this, so i had to reformat anyway, fortunately i had photo and music backups, from about 4 weeks ago, thanks anyway guys (Y)

Im sure there was probably a logical fix for this, but i had no computer access external to my computer, and i tried numerous things until i eventually gave up and reformatted.
