Ok, you can use fdsik which come courtesy of Micro$oft http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348 which is fine if you have a drive with no files or data on it, not the easiest thing to use though.
I'd recommend using PowerQuest partition magic, (which is now Norton PartitionMagicT 8.0 since they took them over - let's hope they haven't ****ed it up). Plenty of guides on how to use it if you want to do a search in Google. PartitionMagic is easy to use and does not destroy any data on the drive but you should always back up anything you can't live without just in case. Size wise? How about Windows + program files and all the other C: drive files / folders then add 3 gigs to that? Anyway you can always adjust it to your needs again if necessary. There are other hard drive partitioning apps, I'm sure the collective knowledge on here will know of a few alternatives.
