Thanks megasad this may be just what I'm looking for. I'll have to wait till my new mac get here to try it out.

After finding that software via this Hackzine article, I tested it out in order that I might resize my wanky 202GB Mac partition to a anally-retentive 200GB. It works perfectly, so once you've reactivated your copy of Windows you should be set.

The only thing to be aware of is that some OEM copies of Vista (including the one I got via my university's MSDN programme) will only let you activate on one machine. If you have a full retail copy, then this is not an issue.
