This is no longer accurate. There is an utility available from http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ called ntfsresize that can also resize NTFS partitions. It's included by default in Linux live-cd called Knoppix. Also present in Debian in package ntfsprogs. I have used the utility a couple of times. No problems so far. I have no idea how portable the utilities are, though. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
