I have been collecting partition tools since about 1990. I have several versions of Partition Magic and recent versions of the other two above. My weapon of choice is Partition Magic. It works fine on the current XP. On my laptop I used it to shrink the default full drive, single partition down to 10G and add several other types. It is also my backup system. I copy the boot partitions to another HDD.
