PartitionMagic will do what you need, but it's a commercial program
which you must buy. It's quite cheap and very, very useful, though.
Powerquest wrote it, but now Symantec own them, so it's from them that
you buy it.

However, whatever you do, I suggest that you remove partitions 5, 6
and then 3, then recreate them, so that the logical order matches
on-disk order. Out-of-order partitions can cause great problems with
Windows and indeed with PartitionMagic and other tools.
