Help Resizing Windows 7 Partition for Debian Install

[Dazed_75]

I know you have it done now, but one of the known issues with resizing Vista
and Win7 partitions (even using their own disk management tool) is that they
will not shrink past the restore point files or the pagefile.  You can
temporarily turn them off, do the resize and then turn them back on.
