Thanks again for all the comments and advice.
I must put some minds to rest : this isn't my one and only PC, I have a desktop which is running fine, though reaching saturation point, but which was never partitioned. So when I got this laptop, nice and empty, running fast and smooth even though far from new (the E6400 is a real workhorse), I thought it might be a good idea to partition it before filling it up with all sorts of things.
However I don't have the installation CDs for it but if I had I wouldn't have hesitated in going ahead with the partitioning so that if things went wrong I could start again from scratch.
But I'm following your advice and will leave things well alone.
BTW MiniTools looks pretty good and it does offer to either Split or Resize-Shrink - thus my OP.
Thanks again.
