Partition Magic 8 works great with NTFS. Suggest defrag before repartition.
Partition Magic creates a bootable CD which boots DR DOS. The repartition
takes places from a graphical dos program. Just drag a bar defining the end
of a partition to free up some space, then right click the new free space
and click create partition. Upon reboot to XP you might want to go to Disk
Manager and set the partition letters to your preference and format.
