as mentioned, you may well need to shrink win7 partition, but be aware
that you will have problems due to locked directories and files.
reason i know this is because i recently installed linux to a laptop
and ran into shrinking problems due to locked directories and files.
there are several ways to go about setting up laptop for dual booting.
1- wipe hdd and install win7 as new, loosing all you have built up.
2- run recovery program to maintain current win7 to maintain current
setup and files.
after several attempts to shrink win7 and was not able to shrink win7
enough, i used #2 of above because i do not have win7 install cd.
if you want a step by step of what i did, contact me off list and i will
be glad to send you how i did it.
as for partitioning, i ran a search for a live partitioning iso and found
a free pmagic-2013-08-01.iso to work just fine. i do not recall where i
pulled it from, but a web search will give you plenty of hits for that
iso name.
