Brian, Partition Magic has a 30 trial that will work great once installed on Win. After you repartition the HD, you can uninstall it and it will not cost you anything, Also, at Distrowatch.com, there is a great system recovery cd with qtpartition on it, I have used this to resize many HD's.
Hope this helps.
