Be very very careful. Make a clone of the drive before you try any of them.
I have used Partition Magic several times and it works well if you are expanding one partition into additional free space to make it larger. BUT...If you are trying to join two partitions into one large partition....I have had this explode on me on two different occasions and then I lost everything on both partitions.
The funny thing is that unless you have a specific reason; like multiple operating systems, multiple partitions on the same drive (spindle) gets you NO performance increase. It just means that you are more likely to run out of room on one partition.
