This is one of those area where Linux trails Windows.  Partition Magic
can (or at least used to be able to) handle that.  Disk Druid and
FDisk are destructive.  To use those tools, you will need to back up
your data, re-work your partitions, then place the data back onto the
drives.  Fortunately, Linux is much better about dumping and restoring
partitions than Windows is.
