He could, instead, use a cd like the system rescue cd to shrink the
vista partition then create a new partition with the newly available
space to put on Kubuntu.
I would rather suggest, if you really need windows, to completely
deleting vista and then re-partition your hard drive like above. Then
find a copy of xp somewhere, install that, then install Kubuntu. I
tried installing the ultimate crap M$ calls vista on a few machines, it
is not good. :) In one case, I was simply setting up a friends new
computer with vista. Vista was already pre-installed, but a glitch in
it caused me to use its restore function and it cost me two hours of my
time and that was even before vista first ran.
