The first thing you will want to do is run disk defragmenter on the Windows XP installation.
Then you can resize the hard drive, shrinking the XP partition and then create a new partition from the available free space. Then you will be able to install KNOPPIX Linux on the new partition.
As for the tools available to resize the partition, you could check if there is still a trial of Partition Magic.
If you know a little about GNU/Linux already, then you could use qtparted, which is available on the SystemRescueCD LiveCD project.

NAME

       pmdabonding - Linux bonded interface performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdabonding is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from bonded network interfaces in the Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the bonding performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Remove

       pmdabonding is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding/Install
	   installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/bonding.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdabonding
