Thanks for the help. I have successfully resized my NTSF filesystem, and=20 freed enough space on my hard drive to install Linux. The roadblocks I=20 experienced during the process were not related to ntfsresize, which worked= =20 as expected 100%. The last hurdle I had to overcome had to do with Windows XP's swap file. In= =20 my system, the sap file was located towards the end of the disc. The=20 defragmentation tool I have (the one that comes with Windows) could not=20 move the swap file, so ntfsresize could not find much space to resize!=20 Solution: delete the swap file after defragmenting (right-click on=20 MyComputer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Settings (Performance) -> Advanced= =20 -> Change (virtual memory) -> select "no virtual memory" -> Set). To=20 restore the swap file after resizing I had to boot Windows XP in Safe Mode,= =20 repeat the process, reset the swap file, and then reboot to the normal= system. -Ra=FAl |
