I actually just did this with ntfsresize from
http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html.
I downloaded the System Rescue CD from
http://www.sysresccd.org/download.en.php. See the answer to question #8
at the ntfsresize site above.
It worked great. Don't forget to defrag the ntfs partition if you are
shrinking it.
If you want a commercial alternative try
http://www.partition-manager.com/. I saw a lot of bad reviews of
Partition Magic on Amazon. I have used neither Partition Magic or
Partition Manger
