Althought not free, Partition magic will do the job but back up anything you want to keep before trusting it with the integrity of the drive.

Been told that I would not be able to use the USB devices though Zingle, of which I require for this short time I need XP.
I'd use a friends pc but about everyone I know has moved to Vista.
Sods law isn't it

Re: Vista Sp1 partiton question
I thought you could make a partition going into control panel, system and maintenance, administrative tools

well you been told wrong.
VMware when in focus installs usb devices. I run my epson r300 printer and a couple of other devices that have no function in Vista 64 but work fine on VM xp
