My opinion is you should backup your files, wipe your hard drive, create 3 partitions (20%, 20%, 60%) where the 20%s are formated as HFS+ (for Mac OS X) and NTFS (for Windows) and then the 60% partition is formated as FAT32 to allow for shared files such as Movies, Music and Documents. I do the same thing, but with 4 Operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, OpenBSD and Ubuntu GNU/Linux). @bhashkar, You can resize your partition which Windows treats as C:, but that might cause file corruption.

The Windows boot-loader does not support dual booting very well. I would recommend just installing GRUB (Linux boot-loader). It will recognize both OSx86 and Windows just fine and will most likely cause less problems. Also, I recommend a more recent version of OSx86 (such as iAtkos 10.5.7).
