BootItNG (www.bootitng.com) will do the job just fine.

A 30 day fully functioning free trial can be downloaded from the
website.

When you run the program it is not necessary to install it. All you
need to do is to create the diskette and then boot your computer with
the diskette. You can then adjust your partitions as you wish.

Good luck
