Topic: Resizing NTFS partition problem

Hey all,

I have a 80GB ntfs partition that I am trying to resize to 50GB

I get the following details when the error occurs:

calibrate /dev/sda2 [CHECK]
calculate new size and position of /dev/sda2 [CHECK]
check filesystem on /dev/sda2 for errors and fix them [CHECK]
shrink filesystem [ERROR!]
check filesystem on /dev/sda2 for errors and fix them [CHECK]
grow filesystem to fill the partition [ERROR!]

any ideas why these 2 operations are failing?
I am running the live cd.

thanks in advance
