I currently run a duel boot machine with a 45Gb partition for Win7 Ultimate an

Shrink the NTFS filesystem first.
I've used the Knoppix LiveCD against a defragmented NTFS.
Then use beadm(1M) to duplicate your OpenSolaris BE to
a USB drive and also send snapshots of any other rpool ZFS
there.
I'd suggest a somewhat different approach:
1) boot a live cd and use something like parted to shrink the NTFS partition
2) create a new partition without FS in the space now freed from NTFS
3) boot OpenSolaris, add the partition from 2) as vdev to your zpool.
