tl;dr: run chkdisk on the vista partition
There isn't anything wrong with making the vista partition smaller afaik. Unless you mean resizing while you're in vista, though i do remember a program that resized that was on vista...
Anyway, if you wanna resize you should use a linux live CD anyway. Even if you don't use linux, there's a lot of stuff regular people could use a live CD for.
