</div>I've used ntfsresize on Linux (part of ntfsprogs) to grow an NTFS<br>
filesystem into a larger partition on a replacement hard disk. It also<br>
does shrinking. Some of the GUI partition tools use ntfsresize. After<br>
you shrink it, you can use the low level backup/restore tools.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/">gparted</a> puts a nice GUI on top of ntfsresize. You can down a live CD image from their site or run it from a Linux installtion.</div>
