I've not had to mess with Windows partitions much...but I don't recall the Linux tools being much good at fiddling with NTFS.
It would be my suggestion to get a copy of "Partition Magic". Its a good Windows utility that can be had for a "good price" if you know where to look.
you should probably remove Partition Magic from your recommended list of utilities since it is essentially:
abandoned software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PartitionMagic
incapable of dealing with ext4
I believe the original message said it was Fedora 11, which I believe didn't use ext4 or have it as an option.
actually, the system tools in Linux are pretty good at dealing with NTFS these days. In reality, you can just 'format' a partition in Windows to repurpose it from Linux to Windows or use either the Windows or Linux versions of fdisk to remove Linux partitions.
I've used the gparted with a number of live cds, and the ntfsprog do a very good job supporting ntfs.
My G4L project has ntfsclone and supports ntfs, but no director resizing.
