You could Reinstall windows, or you try this free partitioning utility,

ttp://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

Note: you use the above at your own risk and read the instructions carefully. Make a backups of anything you wish to save, before using.

Personally, I would buy and use a partitioning utility, like Symantec's Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director.

It's free to use your XP disc to delete existing partitions, create a new, smaller one and reinstall the OS. Then partition the remainder of the drive.

By reinstalling XP, then there's an option to delete, change and add partitions.
