"ntfsresize" from the Debian ntfstools package. It's part of the current
Mandrake installer, but you can also find it in any recent Knoppix.

I don't think parted knows how to use it yet, but read the ntfsresize
man page and go for it. (Worst case, your OEM CD should reinstall
Windows!) Worked for me on a coworker's new laptop - first shrink the
filesystem, then shrink the partition with cfdisk (and add new ones in
the blank space).
