One program(free) I've been using to resize partitions is easus 5.1. So far I used it on three different hard drives, all where successful but I have only used it on XP, but it can also be used on vista/seven.

Another program that can work for you is GParted. Open source as well so it can be used on both Windows and Linux.

GParted is great, just make sure you're using a version that won't cause corruption ~ http://forums.ebuyer.com/showthread.php?p=962662

edit- and re-reading that link i just posted reminded me that my olde worlde version of Partition Magic still works a treat on modern systems/modern hard drives
