A question about partitions

Good evening,
To answer your question about resizing having  not seen your previous
thread, I would not do this in Windows. I would use some sort of rescue
cd and ntfsresize from the ntfsprogs package. It can do what you require
relatively safely and has a lot of safety checks it does before
attempting the operation. I say relatively safely because resizing a
partition is risky business in the best cases. You should also know that
once you have resized the ntfs filesystem using ntfsresize, you will
need to use fdisk or parted to change the size of the underlying
partition. Be careful when doing this that the new partition isn't
smaller than the filesystem or you'll trash your system, and make sure
that the starting cylendar is the same as it was before the resize.
