Hi John

3GB for a primary XP partition isn't enough - an initial XP install can up that amount when the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys files are taken into consideration. Where did you get your info. from? A better size is 7-10GBs. If you want to extend the primary partition, a 3rd party program, such Partition Magic, will help you:
