You would need to use fdisk or some kind of partitioning software to reduce the size of the partition where you would create the new partition, then create it as some name other than "/home/xxxx". Then copy everything from the original "home" to the new one keeping the permissions and ownership as it is. You would then have to do some name changing: the original "/home" to something else and the new partition to "/home/xxxx". That all should be done as root. After the copying and renaming is done, you should reboot just to make sure that everything is working as before. If so, go ahead and do your fresh install but DON'T reformat the "/home" partition.
