[uug] Difficulty resizing NTFS partition

[Ryan Bowman]

Having made much space on my windows drive and defragged it I tried to use 
qtparted to resize the partition.  It only allowed me to shave 1GB off the 
windows partition and told me to defrag the hard drive.  My guess is the 
problem is that having once had the drive very full the data on it, while no 
longer fragmented, is scattered throughout the drive, rather than all at the 
beginnning.  So, how can I move the files and such to the beginning of the 
partition, so's I can shrink it?
