Which Partition Manager for Vista?

Just got the "new" version of Paragon - ver 8.5.
I can at least get into the program, but it isn't allowing me to increase the size of C:
This is just one 250Gb drive, I wanted to increase C: by 10Gb (was 20Gb). Thought it would be easy to take it from the D:, but it's saying that C: is in use, and to restart, which I did, and Paragon says it cannot load drivers at boot.
Any ideas?

Re: FREE partitioning software compatible w/ Vista x64, I believe Partition Logic is capable of resizing a partition within the OS... although a scheduled chkdsk will run upon next boot.

what do you need it for? do you often change partition sizes after the os is installed?

No. Not often.Mr.Guvernment said:
This particular time, I installed Vista x64 Ultimate with 20Gb on the C:, and it's not enough. It ate through it very quickly, with no external apps loaded on the C: at all.
I was thinking of adding 10Gb to it.... Do you think that will be enough? (I'm contemplating another 20Gb, if I get this working.)
Redduc - Thanks for the link, I'll give it a try.

This sucks... Tried Partition Logic - That won't load from boot. Says "Cannot Initialize", and says something about the kernel.
Tried Knoppix, but the version I downloaded won't let me into Gnome, GParted, or Qtparted without a password.
And finally, I attempted to start from scratch, but keep my D: (Data), but I am an obvious Vista dummy. I can't figure out how to merge the 2 unallocated volumes together to make 30Gb.
So, know I'm looking at a 20Gb C: that is almost totally used up with just Vista, a D: that has all my data, and a 10Gb unallocated, all on one 250Gb drive.
At this point, I don't care about losing the Vista partition, I just want 2 partitions, one with 30Gb, and one with 220Gb, without losing the D:

GParted worked for me: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
This link will give you a page where you can download an iso to create a bootable disk for GParted that's not password protected.
