Just an FIY (or should that read Just a FYI (?)
Being too clever by half, I partitioned a 160GB drive into a 40GB C drive so that I could have two more 60GB partitions.
Long story short - this is NOT enough space for Win7 Pro. (Not sure what all is taken up by all those giga flops!??!)
The good news is that there is an easy fix.
Disks can be resized, but using Windows 7's disk manager, only onto contiguous space (free space adjacent to the partition you want to change).
To resize non contiguous partions, I found a neat little gui that allow you to move (by sliding) any drive in the way across to the right a bit. A reboot and not-too-long nervous wait completed the process.

and the program is Easeus Partition Master Home Edition here (http://download.cnet.com)
Hallelujah - all praise be to win7 (and free apps that really work)
