IIRC you are using Vista?  If so, the disk management tool will resize 
partitions with out destroying anything.

Control Panel > Administrative tools > Computer Management > Storage > 
Disk Management

Just be mindful that *deleting*  a partition or formatting it will 
definitely wipe out any data.

If you allocate about 40 GB per operating system and leave the balance 
to hold data it is doubtful that you will suffer any ill effects caused 
by lack of space.  At least not between now and the time the Win7 Beta 
expires.

On my HP desktop system Vista gobbles about 30GB of space but about 10GB 
of that is used by the pagefile and hiberfile dot sys files that you may 
be relocating to the data partition.  About 10GB is also used on my 
laptop for pagefile, windows.old and other stuff that may not be present 
on your OS partition.

Also, the partition size limitation that I suffer may not exist with 
your OS.
