You shouldn't have any problems with the partition resize as long as 
Dell formatted with FAT32.  IIRC, FAT32 is the default installation for 
Dell XP workstations and laptops.  Too many support headaches for NTFS.

The following code is a PERL script capable of decoding a CSS (Content
Scrambling System) encrypted DVD in real time.  This is illegal to
possess in the US according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a
set of laws passed by anonymous vote in congress in 1998.  The Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) is opposed to the distribution of
this software because it allows the owners of CSS encrypted DVDs to
exercise their long-standing fair use rights with new digital
technologies.  For more information, please visit:
