Hello Densie,

Nothing to worry, as Windows 7 and vista provides you built-in utility for partition management. Follow the following steps,

1.       Open up Control Panel and type Partition in the search dialogue box.

2.       In the Disk Management screen just right click the partition you want to resize and choose Shrink the Volume.

3.       In the Shrink Volume screen, you are required to enter the size you want to shrink by.
