Adding another HD space for XP.

I installed XP Pro in a 2.5 gigs NTFS partition dual boot with Win 98SE in a FAT32 5 gigs partition. It's still doing fine along with Office 2000 except with the pop-up msg telling me I got now a low disk space after loading two ISP AccountSoftwares. I still have another 2.5 gigs unallocated Primary partition which I intend for Linux. I am starting to like XP and forget Linux until I get a additional HD.

How do I add this free portion to it? I got Partition Magic 7 and it seems it can't do the trick.

PM will do what you need, but it's a little tricky.
You need to do it in multiple steps.
Take the 2.5 free, and remove it, then allocate free space to remaining drives, then resize the partitions.
