Need to resize an NTFS partition with Ubuntu
I'm setting up a computer for a friend, dual booting XP Home and Ubuntu 7.10. I was 10 minutes from being done, when I realized that I gave the XP partition 10 gigs, and Ubuntu 30. It simply has to be the other way around. I ended up trying to delete the Ubuntu partition to make the XP partition bigger. I want to save the XP partition because it takes the most time to set back up. gpartition refuses to let me expand the XP partition. It tells me that it needs to be unmounted, and it seems to remount the drive every time I apply the new changes!
I've spent a couple hours getting the XP side of things perfected, plus they have some emails in outlook that need to be saved.
Btw, XP won't boot, because when i erased the Ubuntu partition it took GRUB with it.
