Hi kanodi, and welcome to the Mint community !
Yes, resizing usually works well, but do a back-up of your Windows important files first....pictures, music, data ect.
I would recommend using gparted, gparted-livecd-0.3.4-11 is the latest version.
http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
Download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=173828
Besure to read the documentation:
http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/documentation.php
And then post back if you should have any other question or problems and someone will help you.
regards,
BakUp

Re: Resizing partitions
also, it is always a good idea to defragment your windows partition before resizing it!
this will reduce the chances of data loss on the windows partition.
