COntrol Panel->Administrator Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management System
And better than that, go to *gparted.sourceforge.net
Download the liveCD and boot from it.
By the way, in case you wondered, GParted is FREE and OPEN SOURCE.

Digitians you can try Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 which is compatible with Windows Vista.

Is this FREEWARE?
Hi guys, I dont know if you are still after this solution. However, I would like to include it for anyone who is searching for a solution. You dont really need Partition Magic or any other disk partitioning tool in Vista as this can be done in the Operating System itself. There is no use installing a lot of software unless you really have the need for it.
Vista has an in-built Shrink and Merge tools which can be used to partition or combine partitions. Go through the following steps and you will see how easy it is...

Hope this helps any of you who would like to partition their disks in Vista.

use Parted Magic live CD. Its a 50 mb download, and can be burnt to a CD/RW/USB and booted from. It can alter partitions for nearly everything.

dunno whats wrong with PM, but did you mount the HDD first ?
and try using Parted Magic and see if it works.
if both don't, something wrong with HDD

you guys, why do you need partition magic if vista has inbuilt facility to shrink & expand feature.
it works great for expanding capacity of your drive or reallocate them itself.
to use this feature:
rt click on computer-click manage-click on disk management
& rt click on partition which u wanna shrink or expand..thats it. [most of guys herein digit knows well abt this feature]
