Restoring XP PRO

[AT and HMB]

I have a 10gig partition for XP and it is now full. I have a 10gig
unallocated space contiguous with this on my hard drive. When I attempted to
resize the partition I got PartitionMagic error 1513 (which is not an easy
one to resolve) and the resize failed.
I have backed up XP to another partition and would like to reformat the
existing "C:" partition so that I can then make a 20gig partiton and restore
the system. Obviously this wouldn't work because I would not have an
operating system when I wanted to restore.
I wondered if the original XP instal disk would give this facility, or is
there another way to resolve.
To restate. Combine the 2 x 10 gig disk spaces in a situation where the
existing 10gig cannot be resized because of the "1513" error.
Help please.
Thanks.

This is fairly easy, provided that you have
a) A 10 GByte partition where you can park your current
installation, and
b) Access to another WinXP dekstop, or
c) A Bart PE boot CD.
Post again if you need more details.

Another partitioning scheme gone astray.

Another option is to image the current XP Pro Partition, use a partition
managing program to merge the current 10GB with the unallocated space, then
restore the image. As Ron Martell said BootIT NG from Terabyte Unlimited
will do this and has a 30 day, full featured trial version.
