Thanks for the help. I have successfully resized my NTSF filesystem, and 
freed enough space on my hard drive to install Linux. The roadblocks I 
experienced during the process were not related to ntfsresize, which worked 
as expected 100%.

The last hurdle I had to overcome had to do with Windows XP's swap file. In 
my system, the sap file was located towards the end of the disc. The 
defragmentation tool I have (the one that comes with Windows) could not 
move the swap file,  so ntfsresize could not find much space to resize! 
Solution: delete the swap file after defragmenting (right-click on 
MyComputer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Settings (Performance) -> Advanced 
-> Change (virtual memory) -> select "no virtual memory" -> Set). To 
restore the swap file after resizing I had to boot Windows XP in Safe Mode, 
repeat the process, reset the swap file, and then reboot to the normal system.
