I am trying to resize an ntfs partition of a laptop which hasn't really been abused much
Process logs have been included below. I haven't been able to find a comprehensive step-by-step guide after I run into some problems I have read from your archives I should use ntfsinfo and ntfstruncate first to troubleshoot those issues and I did find also posts such as: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244058 Could you tell me what steps I should go from there? Any "best-practive" documentation out there you could suggest to me?
