Is that with Windows Vista?  I know that XP allowed editing partitions, 
so long as Windows was installed on the primary master (yes, my last 
Windows XP install was back in the IDE-only days...) it would let me 
create and delete partitions to my heart's content.  I've avoided 
Windows Vista installs, all I know is that it's reportedly prettier and 
faster than an XP install.
