its not gonna be a big problem m8.. dont worry..but then why do u need to do it often? are u running an institute that trains ppl in formatting and other h/w stuffs? else id advice u to not fiddle with partitions for fun

As long as u stick with softwares like partition magic ,u r safe from crashes.
But resizing takes time and m8 hope u r running with a backup power ..coz a power failure during resizing partitions spells DOOM for ur os & data.

u are absolutely safe as long as u properly partition using a good Partitioner.
However try to redusce ur frequency of partitioning as
sometimes making too small a partiton can affect u r some booting as these files are permanentll stored in the HD & cannot be moved.
