make the partition so much smaller that it would cut into used space (not really sure if it works that way). I don't know what went wrong, my win partition still has free
space, but windows will not boot.
When I reboot and select windows in the grub bootloader (I run Linux as my main OS) I get this:
Windows XP Pro SP2 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
I will give as much information as I can:

Any assistance on recovering Windows would be much appreciated.
Thanks my fellow coder/hacker/geeks
