I think you will find that most disk utilities that could do it
require a TWO step approach:

1)
Move the Windows-7 partition nearer to the start of the disk,
so the freespace will now be AFTER the Win-7 partition.

2)
Expand the Win-7 partition, either with an external disk-utility or
using the built-in Windows-7 resizing tool


I have no idea if Gparted can do the move (it can do the resizing),
and I am pretty sure PartitionMagic CAN, but that is not free.

You can also use my own multi-platform disk-utility to do the move
(and resize), but it is NOT an easy to use GUI program, but rather
a tekst-mode utility aimed at power-users and administrators:

Will run on Windows, DOS, Linux, OS/2 and MAC.
You can use it a few months in evaluation mode for free ...

Moving a partition can be done from its menu:

        Mode=3DFDISK ->
           Open Partition to work on ->
              ... select your Win-7 partition ...
then
        Actions ->
           Move or Copy a partition ->
              Move towards BEGIN freespace

Regards, JvW
