Topic: [SOLVED] NTFS resizing problem!
It looks like I have the same problem as many others. I was resizing my partions on my laptop to be able to put in another distro. But the shrinking of my XP-partion didn't seem to work out well! I get the error: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size".
The Ubuntu -partition works fine even after resizing that partition at the same time.
I've used the systemrescuecd-x86-1.3.3 with GParted 0.5.0
fdisk gives this result:
