    As a start point you can look at gparted...

    http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

    This allows partitions to be resized, created etc
    You will need to boot from a Live CD, or a usb stick..... if you don't, you will not be able to mess with the main partition.

    Before you do anything - Backup your files.
