iiuc qtparted still calls ntfsresize to do the job. though there could be different results with different releases of ntfsresize.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 5:52 PM, Chris G. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thoth.serath@gmail.com">thoth.serath@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Brian, Thanks for all of the work you did to create the very successful install
fest.</blockquote>rah!<br><br>
and thanks to the folks who helped me try to install into my thinkpad.<br><br>unfortunately ntfsresize wouldn't complete. i'll try again after the defrag completes.<br><br>meanwhile perhaps i might take an interest in suggestions i've heard about somehow installing linux within the existing ntfs. i believe i have heard mention of (a) creating a contiguous file that works like a partition, and (b) linux files cohabitating in the windows filesystem. pointers anyone?<br>
