No, I did the shrinking in Vista. I then inserted the 8.04 disk in the drive and booted it as a live disk.After it came in and all looked OK, I installed it without a hitch.
I lost my XP a couple of years ago when I tried to install 6.04 and the grub screwed up a hidden XP file and I had to beg,borrow to get new install XP disks and I didn't want to take the chance here.
Thanks for the suggestion, I shall keep it in mind.
