Adjusting Partition Size in Windows 7

My PC has a dual boot set up with Win 7 & XP Pro as the main operating systems. Currently I don't use Win 7, I'm more familiar and comfortable using XP Pro. The partition on which Win 7 in installed is too large and I would like to reduce the size of the partition on which it is sitting and allocate the extra space to the XP Pro partition. My question is; can it be done from within Win 7 or should I use a separate software program ie Partition Magic or one of the other propriety programs considered OK for the job?

Thanks in advance

Easus makes a Free Edition that does what you want.

Jim,

http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/resize-boot-partition-2.htm
Free partition manager to resize/move FAT & NTFS hard disk partition, flash drive, memory card, etc.
Download the Free Edition (left side of the page).

Resize/Move partition function will help you:

Extend partition, especially extend system partition to maximize computer performance as well as better manage hard disk usage. By the way, you may find that there is a low disk space problem on a certain hard disk partition.
Shrink partition for different usage.
Make the unallocated space behind the partition you want to extend by moving partition.
