What about using Knoppix and QTParted do this also? I haven't played with using it on NTFS (yet), but would think it more user friendly than fdisk.
start Knoppix (I use "desktop=fluxbox" at the prompt to use less resources)
open a terminal
type "su"
type "qtparted"
nice graphical interface that is less intimidating than fdisk in a terminal.
