SuSE only shrinks FAT partitions, not NTFS.  There is a shareware boot manager, 
the name of which I cannot recall, on the web that will do it.  The main thing 
they are selling is the boot manager, to boot multiple operating systems.  
However, the installer can resize NTFS partitions.  To not be in violation of 
the shareware rules, uninstall it after doing the resize.

Actually found it, go to:
