How's this? I got rid of Ubuntu for now and shrunk the Downloads partitions to allow more space.

What would you recommend for imaging?
In theory you now can clone the Win7 partition (which is 115GB) to the space of that unallocated space on physical Disk0 (which is 126GB).

After that you can remove Win7 from Disk1 and put XP there in similar fashion.

After that remove XP from Disk0 and re-allocated the freedup space to the other partitions (or make a new partition for just documents and data or something).

However: Make sure you keep the originally assigned drive letters!!!! You can not simply move a OS from a logical drive X: to another logical drive Y: because that would otherwise break a gazzilion things in the OS. If you want other drive letters, the only safe option is to re-install the OS.
