If gparted was the problem, it may be that the hangs I experienced with the 4.2 install were a symptom of other issues but I was just lucky that 4.2 would boot.
I went with gparted because it was open source, reasonably easy to use and non-destructive; if I'm changing the partition table I don't really want to have to reinstall XP if I don't have to.
So, what options are available to repartition again?
