Your HD should always have at least 10% free space.

Here is a review of the newly-released PartitionMagic 7.0:

You can get PartitionMagic. This allows on the fly partitioning with no loss of data. I first used it when it was on Version 2, now it is up to Version 7.

Of course, you have to think about other possibilities. One is that PartitionMagic costs about $60. Spend a little bit more and you can stick a 40GB hard drive in there and use your other as a spare. Another free partitioning program is called Ranish. It is free to download but doesn't have as many bells and whistles as PM. Anyway make sure that you backup your hard drive. I have never had a problem resizing partitions but you could.
