Thank you for responding!
I couldn't get Acronis to work, tried that. Couldn't get the Gpart to get
working either (maybe it's just me).
Problem with this is the XP partition is my main boot partition. So I can't
delete it (well, I could, but I'd have to run the Vista startup recovery
tool) without giving my laptop nothing to recognize/boot to.
Would a complete format be better here I'm wondering?? I'm leaning that
way. It was a dumb idea to do the 64 bit anyway. I more or less just wanted
to try it. Re-tard-ed.
