Hi FlorianK,

(Last few days, I've been hanging around Linux Questions, not here)

Good to hear you succeeded (even though it was simply replaced by another problem, No net conn).

Can I conclude from your experience, that one must starting stripping XP Home down (deleting apps and stuff) so that proper resizing can take place?

In the meantime, I was on Usenet with this problem. Everybody just says, "Get Partition Magic". The problem is once you start with the Open SW stuff, you have to finish. I'd hate to go out and get PM at this late stage.

In fact, I have not done much since I talked last, mainly because I have another machine with VFAT and Knoppix, so there has been no rush.

Taking the above conclusion to be true, I'll start deleting unecessary apps from NTFS now. I will report back here for the benefit of other readers.
