A. The Microsoft Management Console MMC Disk Management snap-in comes with Server 2008. Another option is EASEUS Partition Manager 3.0 Server Edition. I've tested Partition Manager and it allows a lot of flexibility in resizing and moving partitions, as shown here.

Partition Manager also allows you to hide partitions from the OS, copy partitions to other areas of disk, and shrink a partition while copying it so it can fit in more areas. The tool includes a utility that creates a bootable CD that you can use to modify partitions outside of the OS if required. Some operations require a reboot to boot into the Partition Manager utility, which is shown here.

Full information on the new tool can be found at EASEUS's site.
