I think Partition Magic 6 will split NTFS partitions,
but you have to pay for it. Don't know of any free
tools at the minute.

A default install of Win2K will take up about 700MB,
plus any apps that are needed thereafter. I would
have thought 2GB was plenty, but my own machine has
3.5GB. This is mainly to allow plenty of space for
future installs.

What all is on the D: Drive?
You say your 'Profile' data. If this is all, there
is no way that your profile will take up 8GB at any
time!
