I strongly dislike shrinking file systems in place, and prefer to backup 
the whole FS, repartition the disk, then restore the FS to the new 
smaller partition.   for Windows NTFS systems, I usually do this with 
Acronis True Image Home.

but, I really dislike multibooting different OS's, its just a general 
pain.    there's all sorts of gotchas, for example: do NOT let the 
windows system hibernate instead of fully shut down if you're going to 
touch NTFS with another OS or you'll likely get some hellacious file 
system corruptions.
