Install Windows 7 in dual boot next to already installed Archlinux

Hi everyone !

I have a fully encrypted Archlinux (bootloader Grub2 included) and I wonder if there is a way for me to install Windows 7 in dual boot without uninstalling Arch.

Thank you for your time.

Depends on your HDD partition layout.
Please post output of:

LANG=C sudo parted -l

Depends on your HDD partition layout.
Please post output of:

LANG=C sudo parted -l

Here it is :

Model: ATA TOSHIBA THNSNH12 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 128GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End    Size   Type     File system  Flags
 1      1049kB  128GB  128GB  primary

I actually use only one partition which contains several logical volumes.

You can resize but i personally would restart from scratch.
