You can use any partitions utility,some are shareware but I prefer Partition Magic, it's the best for me!.Try PowerQuest web to see if there is a demo version and, if you like, buy it. Anyway I would do a backup from your most valuable data.

Partition Magic is absolutely worth it!!!

PQMagic 8 is around 35 EUR in Germany, maybe you can get the older Version 7 for less (it's not worse than 8, at least I haven't found any great differences).

by the way: it seems Symantec has bought PowerQuest and they call the program "Partition Magic Pro" now...
