Default Windows Vista Partition

So I have 3 HD's in my PC... 2 160GB and 1 80GB. I have mostly games on it with some windows programs like office 07 and so on. I have vista on a 160GB HD along with other programs and games. The other two HD's just have games on them. The true size of the 160GB Vista is on is 149GB. I have about 48-52 GB free on it. I would like to partition Vista out of the HD it is in and use the rest of the drive for storage but I am not sure how to do that??

PArtition Magic, GPArted, Acronis Disk Director. All of them will do it. Just use teh free space and create a new partition.

With them you will want to select the option to shrink the partition. Partition Magic might be more difficult cause Windows likes to install some data at the end of the drive that is hard to move. I know Gparted can do it though.
