crap ur right about the merge, it does do that and its stupid the only way to get it not to do that is to reformat the parts ur using, which is all of them but if u resize the 152 to 140 then ur windows will be on the 140 and u will have 12gigs left over, but that 12 gigs will be located after the 140gigs if u resize ur 152 to 12gigs, then ur windows will be on the 12 and u will have 152 gigs left over which is located after the 12 gig part like i asked before, where is the f: located in terms of where c: is, on the left or on the right
