    Another program that can work for you is GParted. Open source as well so it can be used on both Windows and Linux.

    GParted is great, just make sure you're using a version that won't cause corruption ~ http://forums.ebuyer.com/showthread.php?p=962662

    edit- and re-reading that link i just posted reminded me that my olde worlde version of Partition Magic still works a treat on modern systems/modern hard drives
