Hi
One which i know is partition magic but i think it's not free. It's a good partitioning tool. Also you can visit www.download.com and search for it.

It depends on whether you are looking for a Linux Partioning tool or a Windows partioning tool. Most linux distros come with some kind of tool, but Partition Magic or some equivalent would work wonders in Windows.

fdisk
fdisk works great, but not GUI based.

For linux systems, try cfdisk or disk druid. Both are somewhat GUI (you can use the keyboard pointers, but not mouse), and are straightforward to use.
