Pretty much most distros out there can resize the windows partition and in my case I have opensuse 11 dual booting Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I am pretty sure mandriva does resize ntfs, but if it doesn't just right click on my comptuer, chose manage then storage. in that window selectect your main hard drive and shrink it. WIth the free space linux should be able to install in the free space.

I recently bought a new laptop Vista Home Premium on it, and I had no problems setting up a dual boot with Ubuntu.  The installer recognized the Windows partition and set up the appropriate grub entry for it.  I haven't touched Mandrake/Mandriva in a long time, but I would imagine that should also work well.

Does anyone know if Windows Vista will dual boot with Linux?
 
I plan to use Windows Vista Home Premium and Mandriva 2007 Spring pack.
 
All help will be appreciated.
 
Thanks you
