    Hi,

    it is possible to resize partitions, which already have data stored on
    them, but it is a bit risky. Since you are talking about resizing a
    windows partition i suppose you are about to install fedora, but
    currently only have windows running. I would therefore recommend
    Partition Magic as a very powerful Windows program, which is capable
    of the aforementioned partioning feature.

    I would also recommend backing up your data (create an image of the
    partition), just in case.

    Do a google search, to find aout more about Partition Magic.

    Cheers,
    /dev/loop
