Two things: on the one hand, you're familiar with the std. instructions to
use Windows' defragger before you resize the partitions, correct?

On the other... if you don't have admin rights, are you sure you,
personally, won't get into trouble (I'm assuming this is a work machine)
for doing this, and, for that matter, that when desktop support checks
conformance to organization policy, that they won't ghost it back to what
it was?
