You can not repartition on the fly while installing and simultaneously preserve what 
is currently on your C:\ drive.
You can repartition ahead of time, and then reload your image drive onto the new 
smaller C:\ drive, then install W7 to the new partition and you'll have dual boot. 
Open your eyes, there has been a W7 forum here for several months.
