Yes, like that's really going to help. The OP says he needs to expand
his WinXP partition. He didn't say why he needs to, or that he's giving
up on Linux, or that he thinks Windows is better. This kind of brush-off
does the free software community no favours.

To the OP: I believe Windows has a "resize partition" function under the
Accessories/System menu. I'm not sure if it's present on XP or if it
will do what you want, but it's a place to start. Otherwise, you can
certainly use gparted to do this.
