Resizing Partition

Im going to get a 74Gig Raptor around Christmas time but until then i want to silence my computer. Right now the fans are OK and i have a couple things coming that will help them out, however the real problem is my two HDD. They are both Ancient and noisy. I want to get rid of my old back up drive and just repartition the C: giving it aroun 1Gig. I have plenty of free space but i know windows doesn't have any support for partition resizing. Are there any free programs or trial programs that will let me do this. I cant reinstal because my XP disk has a scratch in it and wont let me format

(so i have to use a win98 boot up disk, format fat32 using Fdisk, boot into the XP setup, convert it to NTFS, then install missing a couple of files)

You can create partitions using Fdisk, if you wanted to create multiple partitions; you would create a Primary partition first. Then you would create an Extended DOS partition with the remaining space. You could further sub-divide the Extended DOS partition into separate Logical partitions. This is all free on your win98 boot disk.

Gonna be hard to install XP with a bad CD.
 
I have heard about this. I think it is free. But, I have never used it myself. I have Partition Magic 7.

Keep in mind that if you use one hard drive for your data as well as backup on a different partition on that same physical drive, you run the risk of losing everything in case of a hardware failure.
