You will need to use third party software such as Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director - it cannot be re-sized by Windows in Disk Management.
Note: Taking backup of your data is very important!

The quickest way is to use a partition management software like Partition Magic... will successfully manage XP NTFS or FAT32 partitions. It also has the advantage of being able to revert back to FAT32 from NTFS... As yet I need to find a reason to do this...

If you have an external hard drive, put all your data onto this and then reinstall the computer. You will also have the hedace with installing all the updates, but you will have a clean computer.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
I think i will give a try to partition magic! Will take all back up on a removable Hard Disk! Since i dont want to install the operating system all over again & configure my settings & softwares from scratch!
