Use PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0 Full Version.

Its the best thing out there to beat the hell out of HDD Partitions....

You can do anything you want with PQ Partition Magic...

PQ PM is not free. I recommend using QT Parted in Linux. Its easier than Partition Magic and is also free. If you have a Knoppix Live cd pop it in, boot and run QT Parted from System or some other menu. Don't forget to commits the changes you have done.

I agree PM is good but think a situation in which Windows fails to boot? There is a DOS recovery thingy but tell me is the DOS recovery better or the GUI or QT Parted better. And you need to pay big bucks for PM or you need to obtain in warez.
