When is the best time to run this? I tried this a couple months back on
a brand new laptop, figuring it would be best to resize the partitions
before even booting Windows for the first time, but when I did, Windows
thought it still had the whole drive, and I ended up having to reinstall
Windows.
Would it work better if I let XP configure itself first, then defrag,
then resize?
