The Suse 9.1 installation is capable of resizing partitions, and I believe
it works with NTFS.
I recently used it to resize the Windows partition on my laptop, but I
can't recall for sure if it was FAT or NTFS. I'm fairly certain it was
NTFS...
Either way, give it a shot. If it can't recognize or resize the partition,
it _should_ tell you and error out before doing any damage.
