Been there - done that on an older computer ( dual boot to DOS/W3.1/W95) 
using PartitionMagic worked fine.

Now I read that PM Pro if good for hdds up to 8 GB (way too small.)

Is there something that will do the same thing that PM did but on a much 
larger hdd?

(I do want to avoid that route if possible.)
