I have joined the bug list just now, and sent my question there. Let us see what they say. In the mean time if anyone else on this Ubuntu list has a further suggestion, I would be deeply grateful. I am leaving in a few days for India and will be delivering this laptop to a friend there. So I would like to have the dual boot set up for him before I leave.

In my initial letter I explained that gparted is refusing to shrink the partition. This is the whole problem I am facing. Gparted says it has found 1 or more bad sectors in the hard drive, due to which it refuses to shrink the partition. Please kindly review the initial letter, and I think the whole situation will be clear.

why are you using ntfsresize? Just use gparted, it has ntfs support internally and can shrink the partition size.
