The windows Filesystem (ntfs) is shit, so it could happen that the filesystem will courupt a bit, in this case gparted and the Linux installers aren't able to resize this ntfs-partition anymore. (that happened at the most windows installations I had seen). So installing a linux-distro by side of such a windows-installation is difficult. Or just easy?
If is very easy:
1. Boot windows
2. Open the cmd-line with admin-rights
3. Type in : chkdsk /f
4. Reboot windows and agree with checking your disk
After that you will be able to resize this ntfs-partition.
