I've never used this but it is the first result when I searched for disk partition software:

It looks like it should work. Windows XP by itself does not support resizing partitions. I take no responsibility if it breaks your drive though!

You should be. Their are sometimes problems with the built in windows disk management, sometimes for reasons of systems it self. You should know simple partition, right?

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
