Download the GParted LiveCD to adjust partition sizes, this also works with NTFS partitions. I've used it a few times. Other LiveCD's also have GParted, but some aren't up to date. I highly recommend using the latest version of this software. > Shrinking a Windows partition is a Windows problem, not any > other OS.
