Server 2008 and Windows Vista both ship with v6.0 of diskpart, which adds
the ability to shrink disk partitions. Does anyone know if that version can
be safely run under Server 2003 and Windows XP?

Thanks,

BJ

Shrinking partitions is not supported on older versions of the OS

That is, there are 3rd party tools out which can do this, but not with
Diskpart.
