merge lvm and NTFS partitions

Hello, everyone.
I have 2 laptops: 1 running XP with NTFS partition and the other one is
Debian Etch, installed on LVM volumes. Which partition management tool can
I use to make a single dual boot system with the NTFS partition and the one
LVM volumes.

What is the the right way, to copy NTFS onto hdd with LMV or vise versa ?
Unfortunately, both laptops use the disk fully for their partitions ?

With best regards,

Yes, it's a bit more hassle, but the problem is that you have two full
hard drives at the moment, and I don't have a clue about the sizes and
of course I don't want you to destroy the Linux install you already have
working as HP won't help you to fix it.

I do copy that too, as there are devices you don't always create at a
boot up, so you want those to be there, udev (if you use an up to date
install) will create those devices that are more dynamical at boot up.
