Resize Ubuntu partition and allot freed space to xp?
I have dual booted my laptop with Ubuntu 7.04 and Xp home sp2 (installed first). Ubuntu has taken up 55 GB of my 80 GB hard drive. I need some quick and safe way to resize my Ubuntu partition (ext3) and allot the free space to my Xp (NTFS). Please recommend some way by which i can do this without losing any of the data on my XP. Any trialware or freeware that can do this?

Good luck.
Edit: You also have QtParted

(Haven’t tried QtParted before.)
