If I might add, it's good idea to perform following operations
in Windows before the shrinking:

*   clean up as much space as possible (i.e. do your chores
    now and remove that huge application you haven't used for
    over a year)

*   defragment your disk

Having more space and less fragmented disk will make it faster
and safer to shrink the partition as well as result in less
fragmentation afterwards.
