If windowsz is already running for sometimes Defrag windows first .
Look how the pagefile of windows is .
Sometimes you have to disable it before resizing .
In this you to enable afterwords again

It's more suitable to leave space free in advance, resizing partitions is a dirty and dangerous way to do things but their are methods in which it can be done.
