NTFSresize

Anybody ever use this program: NTFSresize?

I want to resize my Primary NTFS Partitions without destroying any data.

Haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet. BUT:

The ntfsresize program doesn’t manipulate the size of partitions. To do that you have to use a disk partitioning tool, for example fdisk(8).

That program is used in SuSE 9.1 setup, tried it to resize an NTFS partition and it worked without data loss.

Never tried it as a stand-alone app though.

I have installed SUSE Linux on an XP Box before, I might try to use that.

I knew I should have used more than 10 Gigs for Windows! Doohh!
