Many third party programs will do this for you.
The most popular is Partition Magic, however, you must buy it.
Try this free one :

Get some well known partitioning software from a well known manufacturer. Example Norton partition magic is good. However, don't skimp out on buying a quality product. An incorrect partition scheme can really screw up your system.

Parted Magic is my tool of choice, at least when the installer for whatever OS I'm installing doesn't have a good one built into it.

They seem to be improving it very rapidly and I download the newest version every time I need to do some partitioning.

Partition Magic is amazingly person-friendly to apply. only slide an arrow area to area to set what length partition you elect to create. the alternative is to the two get hold of, or create a boot disk, then start up your pc in dos mode, sort Fdisk on the command instantaneous, create new stress, and dictate the dimensions of that stress Then only format the stress and youre stable to flow. it truly is a technique, and in case you dont ideas the value, @$40 greenbacks american, then it truly is a severe-high quality person friendly option to doing it your self verify it out. Do google seek and stick to the links
