Microsoft XP doesn't survive movement for one partiton to another well. You end up "installing over the top" or other repair installs.

Also, a partition "resizer" such as Partition Magic can cost as much as a new drive.

-> Here's my suggestion. Post in the Windows XP forum what software issues you are having and see if others will help you cure them.

Also, heed the red words you see with each post so others don't have to ask for OS version, machine make/model and more.
