I'm about to take ownership of a new pc with Windows 7 64-bit on
it. When setting out my partitions in XP, I used the Recovery
Console 'diskpart' and 'format' tools. Does Windows 7 have
something similar?

You can do several things from there.

And there are a number of free/cheap disk partitioning programs to do
the things you can't do with Disk Management. I use Partition Wizard.
