New hard disk

[Kjel Anderson]

So, everything has worked relatively well up to the time that it was time to 
resize the ntfs partition. I'm not having much luck there. My copy of 
partition magic is a little too old, gparted segfaults, linux rescue cd is 
unable to start the display. I am running out of options. I suppose I can 
delete the Windows partition and then create a new one when I reinstall, but 
that will take a really long time. ntfsresize will not resize the partition, 
so that doesn't really help. Any other ideas?
