Thanks for the reply Amos
Prior to your advice I tried G4L but stuffed it by reversing
Source/Target . Dont know what data I lost ( Home PC), but nothing
irreplaceable I think.
Oh well, at least I now have an empty 120gb SATA HD that I can reformat
for Linux.
Thanks again
Bill

Note - Using 57676M ( obtained from result of sudo ntfsresize -i /dev/sda1

Is it safe to use sudo ntfsresize --force -s 43896M /dev/sda1 or do I risk
losing my data?
You should first resize the partition in the partition table (using
fdisk, delete then re-create the partition, change its type to "7"
(NTFS)), have you done that?
After that is done, ntfsresize will by default automatically resize
the file system to occupy the entire partition (see the bottom of the
output from running "ntfsresize" without arguments).
