1.) Defrag your Windows partition before doing any resizing.
2.) Grab qtparted or gparted via synaptic (or partition magic for fee)
and resize. Keep in mind that you can only have a total of four
partitions on any one disc, however Linux can use LVM to form
quasi-partitions. Since you are only resizing this shouldn't be a
problem. However, it you're going to create any new partitions, keep
the total number in mind.
Personally, I've used qtparted and resized my Windows partition, and
added/deleted/reformatted partitions several times w/o a problem.
Never used gparted though. Good luck.
