Hi Gregg, Just came back from an out of body experience..... everything went great with PW move and resize etc and I created the new partitions for win 8 and a data partition for the balance.
Then I rebooted and the fun started there.... it came up BSOD - so I ran windows repair CD hoping to do the 3 times trick - but it did not fix the problem after about 6 reboots (or more) until it said it could not fix the problem. Then I tried the command prompt bootrec.exe /fixmbr and it still did not work, everytime it booted kept saying it wanted to repair (recommended). I tried quite a while to no avail, until I gave up and did a system image restore - thankfully that worked and I am back where I started. I am sure my pressure went up a few points !! Anyway I am going to get a good nights sleep and maybe wait for any other suggestions. I would still like to achieve this sometime ....... at least I know the system image thingy works.
(I even went back into PW and tried to do a set win boot partition but it said failed to find win directory)?
whew.
