    There's one built in.

    Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management

    Should be obvious from here, but good luck.

    thanks. Ok, I for some reason cant delete my XP partition, but can only shrink it. So after shrinking it, I now have 64gb of unallocated space, but for some reason I cant merge it with my Vista Partition.

    I don't think you can touch your active system partition.
