Well partition resizeing has always been "black magic"
Usually you would need to make sure that the area you want to liberate from
the Windows XP partition is unused.
One way to compress the data in the windows XP partition is to run XP's
Disk defragmentation 10 or 20 times consecutively so that it enventually
moves all the data away from the latter part of the XP-partition.
Then you try to split the XP-partition so that you dont destroy any
existing data.
The other way is ofcourse to back up the whole Windows XP partition to a
second diskdrive and restore to a smaller partition.
When I installed JDS on my laptop I already had two primary partitions
on the disk so I did not need to perform the splitpartition operation.
