Depending on the O/S it won't be possible. Vista deliberately sticks system
stuff that can't be relocated suring a defrag at the *end* of the partition
for some reason or other. Some have speculated that this is a conscious
effort to prevent partition resizing in order to prevent the installation of
alternative O/S'es but what do I know....

Windows Vista as an interface to a personal computer offers all the
empowerment of a 112" TV stuck on Cartoon Network and you've lost the
remokon.
