I usually go with another approach. I do not spare a FAT32 partition. Linux can read NTFS, so when you need to work on something, just copy it from the NTFS system to your linux partition.
There are tools for windows as well which can read ext2/3 and reiser partitions, so when you need to, you can copy back to windows and continue your work.
Yes, it is no so good, as you keep 2 copies of the files, but solves all these headaches with the shrinking of a partition, creating a new one, etc.
And ... after all, I do need less and less to boot windows anyway.
