What OS?

Repair your MBR. Boot from the Windows cd (win2k or XP) and get into the recovery or repair console. Type something like fixmbr and you should be done. Please search next time.

To resize partitions with Windows you need something like Partiton Magic, MS doesn't make any free tools.

arent there any free tools?

Not for NTFS and if you find one I'd be weary because MS won't publish the info on NTFS for free.

You can't add the space to the existing windows partition, but you can format and partition it, just can't edit the sizes of partitions, which is kinda risky anyhow... in winXP, right click my computer select manage....

Wait until it crashes on you once, you won't be so in awe of it.
