Something should be done to get people to resize Windows Vista+ partitions in advance using Windows' own resizer, leaving the installer to just use freespace.
The trouble with that is that the Windows resizer is not very good. I tried to do that, but Windows had this giant partition with supposedly "unmoveable" data structures right in the middle, and wouldn't let me resize smaller than the end of that.
Those who follow all the instructions don't have that problem. Those "unmovable" areas are usually the swap file and/or the hibernation file. Disable those, reboot, and resize can work as expected. Doing it in safe mode may help if it turns out there are other "unmovable" areas.
