Zillions of people have used Partition Magic. It works great. It even has a
utility to change the drive letters of software you've already installed. (I
haven't tried that utility myself, only the standard partition resizing
stuff.) You could either use that, or else use the recovery disk and then
expand the C: partition before reinstalling software.
Go to www.powerquest.com and you can get started from there...
