well, firstly, I'm not so sure you can repartition an existing ntfs partition within disk management. I think it has to have free space before you can re allocate it. Try picking up acronis disk director or a new version of partition magic. (Has to be the newest version of partition magic or it will damage your vista install.)

So after opening Computer management, you click Disk management and at the bottom it says ' Loading Disk Configuration'? Try ejecting all CD's and unplugging all USB mass storage drives. You should be able to play around with partitions in Disk management, such as resizing and formatting etc.
