Beetter you use Partition Wizard Bootable CD . Burn it in a blank CD with IngBurn at 4x speed . Boot from it . Now if you follow the screenshots of the given link, you would be able to understand what to do with it . If there is a further problem, please post back .
But , before starting anything , you must ot have a Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup ; so that in case of need you can easily restore the backup, and if you dont have the windows 7 DVD, download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs .

That is an image of your C drive and System Reserved Drive . You need either Windows 7 DVD or the recovery disk to use it . Booted form that disk, you will get an option to repair your computer .. if you choose that option , it will lead you to that partition and restore the image back .

Windows 7 (or at least some versions) allow you to create a recovery disk
when you do an image backup of your system, prior to any modification of the
partitions.
If you would like a more versitile image and backup program, I recommend Acronis backup program.
My personal opinion of downloading microsoft products from a 3rd party source is not a good idea. That's where the bad guys prey on people.
YMMV
