Tool to resize the NTFS partition.

[David Le]

Hi,

I tried to use 'parted' utility of FC4 in rescue mode
to resize an NTFS partition, but it's not supported
that file system yet. I wonder if you know any
reliable and free software that I can use to resize
that partition.

Thanks,
--david le.

I've been using the Mandrake install disk for this, but you have to defragment
the NTFS filesystem and make sure there is enough free space at the 
end of the disk.  You may have to run defragment multiple times, and even
then it may not work.

You should have a look at http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/

I don't think it's a good choice as it even with ext3 fs couldn't work
well (to extend a partition)... In archive of the list You may find me
messages on this problem...

You have several choices,
Knoppix(http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html),
Kanotix(http://kanotix.com/info/index.php),
SystemRescueCD(http://www.sysresccd.org/), first
MandrakeLinuxCD/MandrivaLinux(http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en-us/),
etc.
Run Scandisk and Defragment your hard drive before you
intend to resize it.  Make backup(s) if you need to do
so you won't loose valueable information. 
The choices posted might be overwhelming, but use what
you have at hand if at all possible.  If you have to
download, get SystemRescueCD since it is a smaller
download.

Best Regards,

Antonio

Have a look at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
They have tools to do what you want.  They are also included in Knoppix.
