If you are using a sparce file image it probably dosn't really take up the
2 gig in windows. Sparce files do not store zero's.

if not

I don't know if there are any tools capable of doing this.
resize2fs is capable of shrinking the filesystem size within the image.
But I have no idea of how you would truncate the space allocated to the
file.

I have written a gui wrapper for resize2fs.exe, e2fsck.exe and mke2fs.exe
that can expand an image And would like to know how to shrink it as well
so I can add this ability to the tool.

If anyone has any ideas of how to write such a program let me know.
