Alternatively, boot into Windows and run something along the lines of
EASUS Partition Manager (http://www.partition-tool.com/) to do the
resize. Quite staright forward for those coming from a Window
environment. My mother used it which is about as good an endorsement
as you'll get.

It's free of charge, if you're concerned about that.
