partitioning my HD

Hi all

I have been having problems with partitioning my harddrive, I am using partitionmagic 8.0 (I think) which come free with a pc mag and it comes up with an error message, anyway is there any free software or something within Xp home to do this?

1 last thing, I brought my pc from a shop that puts a load of junk pre-installed on my pc and a partition already on there (if this helps).

sorry to be basic in what i have put, at work atm.

Cheers
Kirbz

ok, the software I'm using is called paragon Partition Manager 8.0 personal.

The error message is

Operation "Check System File" cannot be completed because volume C: is being used now.
