Ok...don't use Windows.....use the GParted CD, it's a UNIX disc so you'll feel right at home.

No, it's not a sign, look what the kernel panic reads and try to fix it. I've gotten several kernel panics and have not given up.

it says it corresponds to an unknown task... it kinda baffled me for awhile, and still is.

I've heard that deals with the boot loader.

If your HD is partition with GPT style you can just resize down the partition from Disk Utility without losing data. Check the partition for errors beforehand just in case.
If the disc has MBR style you wont be able to do that easily, maybe latest versions of gparted or Parted Magic can do it but make a backup of your data before, HFS+ resizing can be dangerous.
There are also Mac-specific partition tools like iPartition or Drive Genius but they are designed for real macs so I'm not sure if they will perform well in hackintoshes and MBR.
