i have a windows XP partitioned Hd with only 9 gigs left and I want to get some new games like COD4 and Crysis but I dont have enough room so should I just get an USB external HD or delete the partition and create a new one bigger on boot camp?

This isn't where you post questions, this is where you post FAQS on how to fix common issues or set ups.

If you just have two partitions on Mac try making 3rd partition by resizing the Mac partition and then use it as second drive for XP (Something like D:) This way you dont need to format anything.... Least effort

I would not mess around with disk utility with xp installed...
I did that and my xp partition became unbootable
