Well... The best tool i can think of is mke2fs, and fdisk :) however they will shrink
your nt partition a bit smaller than you may like :)
Seriously though... I dont know if there is a utility for ntfs, but there are
utilities for dos/fat partitions, so it makes sense that there might be ones for ntfs.
It may be simpler in the long run to backup your nt stuff, and install both from
scratch.
