some solutions:
1) Remove Windows XP... Using this technique, you can be sure that no more
windows problem will occur... :) It's my prefered one ...
2) Use the first free space for /usr and / and swap ... Whatever everything
from GNU/Linux that can fit on this space
3) Use partition magic. This software is able to move some 'fixed' partitions.
4) Ask for your vendor the original installation disks... They must have these
disks...
5) Remove Windows XP... Did I say that before ?...
