Same with me, 2G standard nt3/3.5/4/2k is all they
are capable of doing...
these so called "company-owned-pc-specialists" haahahaa

sort of. I found out that NT (and successors apparently, too)
do save some sort of say "partition info"

here's what it did:
I fdisk'ed the original NTFS partition so that i could
rebuild the ORIGINAL size (!!!) using fdisk.
i copied me an image using
dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=/mnt/c/imagefile.tmp
and copied this back later onto the 1:1 created
partition.

Da wir jetzt durch eine untaktisch kluge Fuegung eingesehen haben,
dass das mit der Zusammendehnung ein echter Griff ins Klo war,
sehen wir keinen weiteren Grund zur Veranlassung.
