Haven't checked recently, but Bootit NG (above) used to have a free trial (30 days) which I've used in the past - actually I ended up purchasing it because it was very easy to use and was the cheapest available. It works too! The first time I ever tried linux, I repartitioned with Bootit but that was with Win98SE (FAT32) not NTFS. If they still have the trial version, download it and read the docs. If it says it can resize NTFS then it will. Its not a bad little program IMHO. Like I said, its very easy to use. I've even used it to backup partitions to CD-RW and used them to restore (back when I used Winblows, that is). Don't forget to backup first.
