gparted can reliably *shrink* and NTFS partition -- I've never used it
to grow one (actually, never occurred to me that anyone would want
to), so I can't testify to that, but it's been rock-solid for me for
several years now, so it ought to be ok. There's a bootable .iso
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) which makes a live CD or a live USB.
Has a GUI interface now, dead simple to use.
