If you don't have any important data on the partition, then simply boot using XP Setup CD and follow the wizard. At the time when it asks to select the partition, delete existing partition and then create 2 partitions of 50 GB as you want. In case you hv any data, you can make a backup of it on other hard disk or pen drives. ;)

^^ Yes. Just delete the partition and it'll show you free space. Now u can create partitions again as many as you want.
