Partition control

For the past few years, I've been using Partition Magic 8.0, this has done it's job, and quite well. However, the horror stories are catching up to me, and after it already failed once, I'd rather not let it happen again.
Are there any Free solutions that enable me to move partitions around(physically), without losing data?

GParted is a well-known Linux application that allows you to create, delete, resize (some partition types), move (some partition types), copy and check partitions on your hard disk. This version of GParted comes in the form of an ISO for a CD, which you can burn to your CD to create a bootable CD from which you can modify your hard disk partitions. GParted supports the following partition types to varying degrees: ext2, ext3, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, JFS, linux swap, ReiserFS, Reiser4, and XFS.
Haven't tried it myself though.
