I recommend a re-install using the old disk as reference for any software
and data you need to migrate. If that really isn't an option then you can
probably recover your systems by booting off the XP install CD and using
System Recovery to rebuild the boot sector. Once you are bootable you can
convert your partition to an Active Disk and use the MS Windows disk
management tools to, probably, increase the size of the partition or create
a new partition to extend the existing one.

Reinstalling everything is not a viable option, just ripping my CDs back into iTunes is way too much work.

I've rebuilt the boot sector more than once, it doesn't help. Using Clonezilla to copy everything over gives me a bootable system, but changing to a dynamic disk still doesn't allow me to resize it.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
