creating a 2nd partition

Is it possible to create a second partition on my hard drive, without reformatting it?
I have an application that is best to install on a 2Gig partition, but I would rather not have to backup and restore all my data with a reformat.

Thanks for that Sean. 70 usd is quite a lot for something I wont use that often, but I notice there is a trial version available on another site, so I will use that initially.
