Does Windows XP include any software for resizing
partitions? If not could you suggest something? What I
want to do is resize my NTFS partition (which is using
all of the drive space) to make room for Windows 98.
Thanks.

You need to format the disk,then choose the size(s),
if the hd is seperate from xp you can do in desktop,if
only one hd exist,you have to use recovery (xp cd),
with that leaving unallocated space it can be adjusted
in desktop even with xp installed.

So you're saying it isn't possible to resize an NTFS
partition?

You can try a third party utility like Symatec's Partition Magic.

Partition Magic is actually produced by Power Quest
(http://www.powerquest.com)

At least I haven't heard about their having been acquired by Symantec
(yet).
