The first time I shrinked a partition was in 1998. Back then, you needed a small partition before the 1024 cylinder, but could be a tiny one, used for /boot. So sometimes you needed to shrink a bit the beginning of the Windows partition, then a large portion at the end. Could be a large portion at the end, and then shift everything a cylinder or two. The limitation came because the BIOS could not read beyond the 1024 cylinder or something like that. I used, I think, Partition Magic in Windows. Is this tool still around? Things are easier now. -- Cheers, Carlos.
