+Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/sda5'.
+You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
+IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you
+ 1) create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
+ 2) create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
+ 3) do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
+ 4) set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
+Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
+If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
+can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.
