You can actually do that in Windows in the disk manager of command line via DiskPart command. Read more here

I prefer something like AOMEI Partition Assistant for its graphical interface,
For a free utility, try GPARTED. More info here...

I always partition drives:
c: -> Windows and programs
d: -> Data (I reconfigure default locations for documents, music, video, pictures and downloads)
e: -> shareware utilities (many portable apps)
that way I only backup the d: partition, makes it easier to reinstall Windows when (not IF) you have to reinstall everything 🙂
