I actually thought it was a pretty well formulated question - even though Martin Krafft firstly, did not like it on this list and secondly, did not like the formulation - at least it was very short.
However the reason being, I moved wife and kids from Windows 98 to Linux a few weeks ago and they are all happy about it - so I just wanted to shrink the Windows partition from 13GB before to 2-3GB - to keep a few essentials - Lego Studios - in this case. And since I did not want to image the partion but move it I thought tar was more appropriate than dd.
