I'm extremely surprised that no one's said anything to you yet.  But the 
System Rescue CD ( http://www.sysresccd.org/ ) is a LiveCD that 
includes gparted and partimage (so you can back up and restore if the 
whole partition resize goes south.)  I have used gparted 4 or 5 times 
to resize 2K and XP variants of NTFS partitions successfully, though 
all those partitions lived on IDE disks.  The kernel's 2.6.20, so 
unless your SATA chipset is really new, it should work without a hitch.  
HTH,

  Can a series jump the shark straight off, or does it need to get a
