It all depends on what filesystem type the xp partition is. If it's FAT (or FAT32 or whataver), then that's easy; defrag the drive, then use FIPS or parted to create free space at the end. If it's NTFS though, I think you're SOL without partition magic or similar. > [could just repartittion then reinstall XP and debian but have mucked about with > the XP installation so dont really want to reinstall.

You paid a fair amount of money for XP, the least they could do is give a CD of it. -rob
