download gparted and burn it to a CD-RW or USB drive. stick into cd rom and reboot(must have boot from CD enabled in BIOS). the appliaction will ask some questions about keyboards, monitor and harddrives. answeres are easy(you should get an A). In the app you can resize your partions to what ever. read over some of the docs. I am not resposible for data loss.

depending on your partion setup and hardware resizing can take a really long time
