In most cases I've seen, attempts to resize an existing XP partition were made 
without first defragmenting the disk. That is a huge "no-no"--but of course it 
is always best also to do a backup of important data before doing partition 
resizing. 

But then, you should have regular backups of important data anyway, right?
