Is there anther porgram that can do this for me? or have i just lost 75GB :(

The reason is that partitions can't be split up and have to be sequential. If you look at the picture, the unallocated space is on the far right while the partition you want to resize is in the middle.

The solution is to get GParted (as everyone has said so far) and move the 150GB partition to the end of the disk, then expand it.

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
