It might be able to do that now:

It's also possible to resize NTFS fs's with Win2k and XP using 'diskpart.exe' 
[which also still works in Vista and what others fall back to when the 
built-in graphical one in Vista doesn't work]:

  I recently had to do this on Win2k but couldn't figure it out how to do it 
from the OS itself at the time, so I used 'ntfsresize' program on Linux to do 
it.  In Debian + Ubuntu it's part of the 'ntfsprogs' package.  Worked like a 
charm.  Same deal as before; need to resize the partition first, then 
run 'ntfsresize'.
