I believe you can accomplish all of the above with partition magic, I also was 
under the impression that generating a new partition out of unused space was 
not to difficult in windows latest two versions, you might wish to do some 
poking around in the Microsoft tech website

  Hi,
      I'd like to load ubuntu on my laptop, which has a 120G harddrive. I'd 
like to use 60 for XP and 60 for ubuntu. Anyone have any suggestions for a way 
to do it without sighted help. Also XP is already loaded so I'll have to shrink 
the existing partition, and add a new one for loading ubuntu. I haven't done 
anything like this in years, and the last time I did it it was booted in a DOS 
prompt. Is there any package that can shrink the partition of a running XP OS 
so that JFW speech is available?Or any other way to do it without sighted 
assistance.
