NTFS resizing

I'm trying to find a reliable program to shrink one NTFS partition on my hard drive and then enlarge the other.
In this case, google does not seem to be my friend as all I have found is inactive links from dodgy websites.
Apart from buying PartitionMagic, can anyone recommend a free program, they've used to do this.
Thanks, Sam

Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

OK, sorry I should have said, it's an SATA hard drive. Partition Logic and GParted didn't recognise the drive, I got a Trial version of Acronis, but that wouldn't install without an internet connection which is unavailable on that PC.
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Sam.
