I recommend that you use the Vista Shrink Volume tool.
Note that sometimes this tool does not work because because there are immovable system files at the very end of the volume, typically the MFT, or Master File Table for the volume.
Do a Web search for "Vista Making Shrink Volume work" and you will find instructions for how to deal with this issue.
