Unhappy [Pending] Expand a Partition?

I have two partitions on my HD:

1 for Windows - 6 Gigs
1 for Installed software etc - the rest of the HD

I realised that the size of the partition containing Windows is a little too small.

Is there any way I can add more space to the Windows partition? I JUST formatted and reinstalled last week and I don't feel like doing it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Debutante!

I'm afraid you need software like Partition Magic to perform this action.
You can size a partition up through Windows if there's unallocated space on the disk only. You can't make a partition smaller.

Why is it too small?
XP takes up 1.5GB
How many many programs do you intend to install?
