Need to be able to add two blank partitions to my existing Windows 7 64 bit C: drive partition in order to increase the size of this partion. What product can do this? Norton Partition Magic 8 can't

Need to be able to add two blank partitions to my existing Windows 7 64 bit C: drive partition in order to increase the size of this partion. What product can do this? Norton Partition Magic 8 can't.

I have checked Norton's website, and they say that they will not be making any more Partition Magic programs after Norton Partition Magic 8.

I am unable to do this using the "Windows Extend Volume" option. This option is grayed out whenever I try to access it from within Windows 7 64 bit and is still grayed out if I boot to a different Windows 7 32 bit partition and try to perform this function there.

What utility or program will I be able to use to do this?

Here is that screenshot.

I need a program that will allow me to add the two empty partitions shown in this screenshot to the J: drive partition.

The J: drive parttion will show up as the C: drive whenever I boot into Windows 7 64 bit.

When this screenshot was taken, I was booted into Windows 7 32 bit.

What type of program or utility will allow me to do this?
