Data Lifeguard tools might sort out your hard drive:

If it tries to make a new partition you will have to use partition magic.

You can buy a USB to Centronics adapter, save you adding anything internally.

Heres a few things that can make your joystick work.

Regarding to your harddisc.

You can go and allocate the last gb's of space. But it will show up as a second harddrive.

I'd just allocate the spare space to be a new logical drive.

You can even ghost (or similar) a copy of your newly finished XP into it to aid a fast rebuild if the OS dies on you...
