I have two different partitions on my hard drive. One is an inactive version
of Vista. I need to delete it so I can make the partition that is active with
XP bigger. XP wont let me delete the Vista one because it says that it is a
system partition. How on earth can I delete the system partition off my hard
drive?

use something like gparted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
you can delete the partition and then change the flag of the other one
to boot. Then if you installed vista after xp, you would have to fix
the bootloader...
 
And how were you going to increase the size of the partition, since you
cannot do that within win?
