Reallocate Hard drive space in Ubuntu?!?

So I set up my windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 dual boot and gave windows 7 20gigs and Ubuntu 15gigs and a shared storage space of 475gigs but my windows 7 got to big for its partition so I want to take some of the space from my storage space and add it onto the windows 7. I booted to the LiveCD and did GParted and shrunk the storage but how do i get that unallocated space to the windows 7? I'm a novice at Ubuntu but I wanted to try it out.

    go into windows 7

    start>(right click) computer >manage

    in this window go to disk management

    click on the windows partition and you should have an option to expand this partition (this will only work if the partitions are next to each other.

    Linux is great, if 10.04 gives you problems, I suggest trying Linux Mint, openSUSE, or PClinxOS(this one sadly doesn't have 64 bit though =( ).

    Just right click the green partition and delete. You should then have a black section instead and from your Windows 7 partition, right-click and EXTEND.☺
