I have read that you _must_ do this within Vista.  iirc, I ended up erasing
Vista, shrinking the partition to the size I wanted and reinstalling Vista,
as I couldn't get Vista to shrink to any reasonable size (it wanted to use
32GB of an 80GB drive at the minimum, after I'd removed all the software
I'd never use and turned off virtual memory).
