How to Resize an XP Partition

QTPartEd is a utility on the Live-CD that can be used to resize MS-Windows partitions including XP NTFS partitons.

It has a user interface similar to Partition Magic and it can be called directly from the MEPIS Installation Center or it can be launched at KMenu > System > QTParted.

Before resizing a MS-Windows partition, it's important to defragment the partition in MS-Windows.

Sometimes QTPartEd will only be able to partially resize an XP partition. This is due to XP doing an incomplete job of defragging the partition.
