Well I would do that but the only purpose for the Vista partition is  
to run some very performance sensitive applications -- i.e. games...  
I do all my actual work in the Mac OS (Final Cut Pro, Photoshop,  
Digital Performer). I don't think Fusion will let you play games at  
the same speed as actually booting into Windows.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I will try SuperDuper and look  
into Winclone. Thx
