'EASEUS partition manger' should do the job.

it does not workin yr

Backup all your data to a different hard disk, use DBAN to overwrite the whole drive, format it with Windows Vista and then you should be able to partition.

dont make a new partition, extend the last partition by adding the 16 gb.
use easeus partition manager, as V_K said.

@ rajnusker : there are several methods not so extreme as yours, and which can be done without ever formatting a disk. what you are saying is the FINAL SOLUTION, its not so bad in op's case.

Can you please post a screenshot of your disk manager from Vista?
You can open disk manager by typing "diskmgmt.msc" in run.

you might have run out of primary partitions, and may have to make an extended one.
