How to do this without buying a partition program?
There is no way to repartition it using native Windows tools without deleting the existing partitions, and creating and formating new partitions, and then reinstalling the OS and applications.
There are, fortunately, quite a few 3rd party products that can help you repartition the hard drive non-destructively. Two such products are Symantec's Partition Magic and BootItNG. The latter even has a free, fully functional 30-day evaluation version available for downloading from www.bootitng.com. Simply use one of them to resize the system partition, and then create a second (extended) partition.
