    Grab a copy of Ubutnu and run it in the live mode ... use gparted to resize your partition, reboot into windows 7... problem solved ... if this method wont fix it, it cant be fixed...
    gparted can't do it either. He needs Acronis. The free trial lets you make a bootable USB recovery device as far as I'm aware.

    You can convert logical partition into primary, which I think is going to be part of the solution here.

    also, if you move the boot manager to the C: drive, make it "active", you can delete that 100MB partition if you aren't using bitlocker to encrypt your system drive.

    because a 100MB partition is a waste of a primary partition.
