    ntfsresize is your man, maybe via some nice frontend like QtParted.

    The ntfsresize FAQ is an essential read, as there are quite a few caveats and
    warnings.
    http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html

    (On a couple of troublesome machines recently I have had to use ntfsresize and
    fdisk from the command line, booting off the Rescue-Is-Possible floppy.
    Utterly reliable, if a little fiddly.)

    cheers,
    Simon
