    You need to use a partition manager to accomplish what you seek, but I thought I read somewhere that Vista may have a feature for this already built-in; or was the feature to manage dynamic drives?

    The free partition manager options out there can sometimes have interface issues and be tricky if you aren't tech-savvy... the best (retail purchase) product is probably Norton's Partition Magic, but others here may have additional recommendations.

    As far as I'm aware of right now Partition Magic is not Vista friendly, I was told not to use it with Vista. There is a Vista Disk Manager, but it doesn't work all that great.
