please, first mention how did u try to partition the hard disk? i think norton partition magic should be able to partition your hard disk . If you used it and still were not able to partition , then your hard disk does not have sufficient space for partitioning.

regarding not able to connect to internet with windows xp english, plz explain in detail what the system scenario is? did u installed internet explorer 7 after which u r not able to browse , or your network card is having problem with driver.plz be specific with your problem

hope this helps you
