Partition HDD after OS/programs installed?

Hmmmm I tried this and I see no option to reduce the partition size.

Right. I believe the only partition management option related to partition size that you'll see in XP is "Delete Logical Drive".

Correct. You MUST use a third party utility to modify the system partition with XP

You could possibly try and download a Partition shrinker.. I've done some research, but i can't find any for windows XP, there are loads for windows VISTA and 7, but none for XP, i will keep researching and let you know as soon as possible if i find any..

There's something very wrong with you.

Yes it does!

I did it with the help of EASEUS Partition Master version 4.1.1.

I'll mention how I did it for future reference: first I shrinked the C partition, then I created 2 more partitions from the unallocated free space, worked great and I'm posting from my installed Win XP

Thank you everyone for your kind support.

Now is there a way to make my last partition private, i.e. only accessible by me and not visible by other logged-on users?

*sigh*

helper4789, there are many partition tools, I don't know what you searched, but it was obviously very flawed.  Just like telling people that Disk Management will shrink the active partition.

Don't post misinformation.

The OP solved his problem. So this thread has served his purpose.
In retrospect,
he should have made partitions on the HDD during installation.

Yes, that is the preferred way to do it, I think my original post reflects that.

I'm glad to hear you got it working Duderino.
