Re: resize NTFS partition questions.

[Scott Pumer <rpumer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I actually just did this with ntfsresize from 
http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html.

I downloaded the System Rescue CD from 
http://www.sysresccd.org/download.en.php.  See the answer to question #8 
at the ntfsresize site above.

It worked great.  Don't forget to defrag the ntfs partition if you are 
shrinking it. 

If you want a commercial alternative try 
http://www.partition-manager.com/.  I saw a lot of bad reviews of 
Partition Magic on Amazon.  I have used neither Partition Magic or 
Partition Manger

Regards,
Scott
