The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to purchase and use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.

The alternative is to perform a "clean install" of Windows XP:

if you have a oem edition of windows xp home before you reinstall you must prepare your hard drive properly. Once you have added data to a new hard drive the oem will not reinstall properly by using the dos fdisk and format. Email me and I will help.
