It's not by accident ntfsresize finishes like this, ----------------------------------------------------------------> NTFS had been successfully resized on device '/dev/hda1'. You can go on to resize the device e.g. with 'fdisk'. IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure you 1) create it with the same starting disk cylinder 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 may lose your data or can't boot your computer from the disk! <--------------------------------------------------------------- I guess Parted ensures all, right?
