Non-destructive partitioning

-----------------------------------

Anyway, my friend has a computer with WIndows ME installed (came with the computer). and I say its absolutely horrible, you can't do anything with it. Is there anyway to perform a non-destructive partition on it and create a dual boot with windows XP?

so this software will allow non-destructive partitioning. and its possible to create a new partition when the primary partition uses the maximum disk space, without any loss of data?

Partition magic can resize the parition (from free disk space) which can allow you to make another partition from the unused space, I've done it before with no problems

You should be able to install windows XP on top of it, in a different directory.

And then modify your boot.ini file to allow it to boot both.
