I have used GParted to shrink, expand, and move partitions in Windows and Linux. I don't see any
reason it won't work for you. Look for GParted on Google, download it and burn it to a CD. Boot the
CD and just follow your nose. It will take some time to move a partition, but not hours. It is always a
good idea to back up whatever you're going to mess with before you do it, but I haven't had any
problems. Since you want to make Windows bigger, it should be fairly quick and easy; it's when
you want to make Windows smaller that you run into problems. (You can probably reclaim about
half of unused Windows space, but not more.)
