If you are never going to put anything other than XP/2000 on that system, you could convert the drive to dynamic (rather than Basic) which gives you more partitioning options. It's a one way only step and won't allow dual booting with Linux, but if you want to use that space and have four primaries ...

Only other option is to move data off fourth partition, drop the partition and recreate as an extended.
