Question about changing the size of partition in Dell XPS M1330

My Dell XPS M1330 has a partition of 80GB Vista and the remaining XP. How do I increase the size of the Vista?

Going to a service center is the best choice but I want to do it myself in case I want to do it again

Vista has a built in disk management that allows expanding and shrinking disk partitions. But with the XP partition right next to it, you mihgt have an issue of expanding the Vista partition. 2 choices, my 2 cents:
. using Vista built-in utility, shrink XP partition, and assign the 3rd partition to Vista-extended
. GParted-LiveCD, free, can get you through it

cheers ...

Vista's disk management worked great! Thanks much!
