good question. below is what i did because programs i pulled to do such
did not properly move files. above 'resizer-free' may work, but i did not
find such program in search i made.


if one uses the win prog that creates the recovery dvd's, those files
will be restored within a shrunk or re-partitioned partition.

as for validating the coa code, that was not a problem either because i
did allow win7 to run it's update prog and it ran without any problem.

originally drive was;

  sda1  hidden, win7 boot, data, diag
  sda2  win7 os
  sda3  HDDRECOVERY

using partition magic, i reduced sda2 size to open up room for extened
partition, leaving 'HDDRECOVERY' in place.

i then made the gained space an extended partition where after partitioning,
sda3 HDDRECOVERY became sda4 HDDRECOVERY.

reason for leaving HDDRECOVERY at end of drive was because i did not
know what would happen if i moved it to new sda3 position with sda4
being extended.

i reformatted sda2 as ntfs and sliced up the new extended partition so
that when i finished i had drive setup as;

/dev/sda1   ntfs        1G46  hidden, win7 boot, data, diag
/dev/sda2   ntfs       40G15  win7
/dev/sda3   extended  183G19
/dev/sda5   ext4        1G00  /boot
/dev/sda6   swap        2G88  swap
/dev/sda7   ext4       10G00  /  {centos 6
/dev/sda8   ext4       10G00  { open for additional linux systems
/dev/sda9   ext4       10G00  { open for additional linux systems
/dev/sda10  ext4       10G00  { open for additional linux systems
/dev/sda11  ext4       78G13  /home
/dev/sda12  ext4       61G15  /hdd/sda/12
unallocated             4M83
/dev/sda4   ntfs        8G09  hidden HDDRECOVERY

after above partitioning, i reinstalled win7 via the recovery dvd's.
rebooted and all worked well.

then i installed centos 6, install picked up on the win7 partition and
made it 'other' in grub boot menu.

i assigned sda5 thru sda12 as shown above.

i now have a laptop that is dual boot and both systems run without any
problems.
