CIS, I'd recommend using Clonezilla to make a backup and then after a backup has been taken... using GParted Live which is a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution (CD/DVD/USB key) which boots straight into GParted a GUI to the GNOME Partition Editor application (quoting WP):

"It is used for creating, deleting, resizing, moving, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems (works with Windows Vista / 7 System & Data partitions), reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging)."
