First time was to take my wife's laptop that was running Vista and create a new drive partition to install Windows 7 on. For general use, lack of 64 bit support isn't really an issue...

By that I mean that I want to move my data files from the old partition to the new partition. (Acronis Disk Director does this, but it's not free and this procedure is not allowed with the free trial.) Will I have to do anything more to be sure that Windows knows where to find my data files?

Will I have to do anything more to be sure that Windows knows where to find my data files?

GParted came to mind right away. Not only is it a wonderful, open source, and free option, but it it is not restricted to any particular (32 bit) operating system (64 bit might work, too - I'm not sure). It runs directly from a LiveCD, is still being actively developed, and is available <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. (see a nice instructional site <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted" rel="nofollow">here</a>). You’re right, and I was going to say the same thing!!

GParted is very similar to Partition Magic. GParted live CD and also Parted Magic (alternate gparted live) are both great and don’t require reboot since you are running it off a disk.
