Partition magic runs under windows and is very accessible with jaws, and is
a nondistructive partition utility that allows you to add, remove, and
change file systems on partitions.

It has been my experience that Partition Magic isn't speech accessible; runs
only in graphics mode. If someone knows different, I'd be very interested in
knowing what version you run, as DriveImage and DriveCopy, their other
products have the same problem.

Why not use the systemrescueCD.  It has partition resizers that are speakup
accessible and Partimage will even make an image backup of your Windows
partition.
