I found a win7 program (Free as in no cash payment needed).
Download from http://download.resize-c.com/resizer-free.zip
It resizes partitions on all windows.
jd1008,
what happens to locked directories and files?
see below for a brief of how i got laptop configured.
I have not experienced that issue. Don't know how
to answer the question.
I read your configuration, and I must say you have
more partitions for windows than my case.
I just had the windows 7 sda1. That was it!
I used a live CD to fdisk the drive as follows:
sda2 became /
sda3 became swap.
install fedora from DVD
Done!

Unfortunately there is no information at this url, just the zip file.
Do you know if it will move the files that Windows puts way out about
halfway thru the existing partition, that normally limits how far you
can shrink Windows?
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.
