Not natively. Unfortunately, no version of Windows before Vista
provides any way of changing the existing partition structure of the
drive nondestructively. The only way to do what you want is with
third-party software. Partition Magic is the best-known such program,
but there are freeware/shareware alternatives. One such program is
BootIt Next Generation. It's shareware, but comes with a free 30-day
trial, so you should be able to do what you want within that 30 days.
I haven't used it myself (because I've never needed to use *any* such
program), but it comes highly recommended by several other MVPs here.
Whatever software you use, make sure you have a good backup before
beginning. Although there's no reason to expect a problem, things
*can* go wrong.
