Help shrinking and expanding partitions on Raid 5

I have a Dell R710 server running Windows 2008 R2 in a raid 5 configuration.  My initial plan was to use this server as an Exchange 2010 server and run a few Hyper-V VM’s for optional Edge transport and Unified Messenger servers.  All 3 are running on the same machine (1 physical and 2 virtual).  I would like to shrink the size of the partition running the physical PC and expanded the partition holding the 2 VM’s.  I need the extra room for a 3rd VM.  I’ve tried the resizing option in Disk Management.  I was able to shrink one of the partitions but the newly freed space didn’t become available to the other partition.  It seems like it was a sub partition of the original partition.. if that makes sense.   Is there a way to resize the partitions by making C: smaller and D: bigger?
