Gnome Partition Editor is the name of a free Linux partitioning tool that can create Vfat, Fat32, NTFS, and other types of partitions as well as removing them. You will need something like BurnOn or another cd burning program that is able to write iso images to bootable cd-rs. GParted Live for cd can be found at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

BurnOn's free version with the ads works quite well and is found at http://www.burnworld.com/burnoncddvd/ After you use it several times you will probably end up running the "sfc /scannow" command at the Run prompt having the XP installation disk in the drive since it will suddenly fail to run. Other then that the burns have been reliable here for the application and burn of the GParted iso to disk. I should know since I've run different Linux distros on the second drive here like Core 4, Knoppix, Zenwalk, Mandriva, and one attempt to get ubuntu going at one time.
