Are there any good free partition programs?

I am installing Linux on my Windows XP home system with NTFS. The Linux installation program says that to create a partition for Linux, it will have to reformat the hard drive, which I don't want it to do. I'm looking for a program that can split the hard disk into two partitions without losing data. I don't want to have to pay for it either, so I want to know of a free one.
 
You really ought to have a second physical HDD for backing up your stuff. They're so huge and cheap now, it doesn't make sense not to, especially if you value your stuff!

I guess it goes without saying that once you have the second drive, you can FDISK it however you want and copy the data from the old one to the new one.
