Unable to adjust partition size



I have a 160gb drive. 4gb is partitioned to C: and the rest is D:. Both are
NTFS. I have over 1gb of free space on D: and I wanted to shift 1g of free
space to C: by using PartitionMagic or Acronis Disk Director. But neither of
them are willing to touch the partitions. They don't want to shrink D:. Does
anyone know why that is?
