I've tried chkdsk and defrag already, but to no avail. Well, i would try to use ntfsresize by hand. An Alternative could be ntfsclone to backup the big and then restore to a smaller partion. But for some reason, gparted didn't like it. Maybe the recent versions of ntfsprogs are not yet compatible with Vista. Who knows? -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
