To Resize or Create a Partition in Windows Vista or 7 you don't need any third party Softwares.

Simply follow the following steps:
 * Click Start
 * Right Click on Computer
 * Select Manage

In the left pane, under Storage category, click on Disk Management.
Now select and right click on the partition you wish to change.
In the context menu, you will see options to Extend, Shrink or Delete the partition. Select the option you want.
 

NOTE : You can not merge partitions in Windows with this Utility. If your 2nd partition is empty, you can delete the 2nd partition and then extend the 1st partition, to use the freed up space. Also note that you can extend only to the right; if you are desirous of extending the partition to the left, you may have to use a 3rd party utility, like Acronis. Sometimes one or more options may be inactive and thus unavailable. It could be that such a step may be physically not possible.
