use GPARTED or Partition wizard. If you don't have a CD drive use GPARTED to create a bootable USB copy - otherwise use partition wizard. (Create a USB bootable version of GPARTED).

I'd go with the OPEN SOURCE GPARTED -- no problems running from a USB and it's open source and free ware -- I always like to support GOOD open source stuff where possible. Even as a windows user you won't have any trouble using it.
