>Description:
In FreeBSD Handbook it is written (under chapter 2.2.3.1 Disk Layouts for the i386):

You can use a commercial tool such as PartitionMagic to resize your partitions to make space for FreeBSD. The tools directory on the CDROM contains two free software tools which can carry out this task, namely FIPS and PResizer. Documentation for both of these is available in the same directory. FIPS, PResizer, and PartitionMagic can resize FAT16 and FAT32 partitions -- used in MS-DOS through Windows ME. PartitionMagic is the only one of the above applications that can resize NTFS partitions.


However, I personally have used GParted not once to resize NTFS partitions and not only that it does that but it is also a free solution to the above mentioned problem. It can be downloaded from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ and beside NTFS partitions it handles perfectly bunch of other stuff.

State-Changed-Why:  
I know that more tools exist to do the re-size; however, 
listing every one is too much of a task.  I have made a 
change so that one free and one commercial solution is listed, 
no more than these two should be added.  Thanks!
