Filesystem Notes

GParted won't resize ntfs partition (Ubuntu 7.10)

( the option to "resize" is grey out / disabled )

This could be because "ntfsprogs" is not installed.

In GParted try : GParted > Show Features

Under "NTFS" if it does not list the ability to "shrink" this is probably the problem.

Install ntfsprogs with the command: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

 

Restart GParted, resizing should be available now.
