I don't have a Windows partition so I didn't see this but I've heard of some people experiencing this... and yeah I imagine it should default to resizing Windows.
In this case, it should not even have decided to resize: of a 40GB HD, 20 were assigned to windows and 20GB were free... so the user took already all measurements to have space available for testings... just use it.

I mean in 10.2, or some beta from 10.3, the partitioner/proposer worked better than now, i am not certain which anymore, i mean with the testing of the ntfs-resizer... The default proposition is in my case allways the wrong choice.., so i have to edit all the partitions, and /name them to mount them properly, format or not. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
