Help! with creating and shrinking volume

[Guest]

I recently created 2 volumes....meaning to create just one. Wanted to dual
boot with Windows Vista and XP. In doing this my RECOVERY has low /max disc
space. I presume that i need to delete one of the volume but which one:
New Volume (F 67.51 GB or the New Volume 3.39 GB?

If "New Volume 3.39GB" doesn't have a drive letter assigned to it then it
hasn't been formatted so I would say you can delete it with
safety.
But you will not be able to recover this free space to C: as
presumably you intend to do without 3rd party software such as Partition
Magic or BootITNG.
Of course do backup any important files you have before doing
anything, just in case...

Partition Magic is not Vista compatible. Do not use it.

Is there a way and what should i do in order to view what's on the New Volume
3.39 GB. Last message I received on computer was that it wasn't able to
backup

First up, thanks to Rock for pointing out PM isn't compatible with
Vista.
See my original post regarding new volume
