I'm not sure if this helps, but when I want to shrink a PC partition, I 
use the Debian net-install image (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/";>http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/</a>) 
which includes parted.  Just pretend you are doing an install, and then 
select the existing identified partition and simply change it's size (up 
or down).  No mess, no command-line parameters, nothing but a pretty 
curses gui.  After you change the partitions you can cancel the Debian 
install and go back to what you were doing.

&gt; I just used 'systemrescuecd-0.2.15' and 'ntfsresize-1.9.2' to shrink a
&gt; laptop's XP-home filesystem down to 10 Gby. All went fine including
&gt; post-shrinkage file checks and reboots by XP. XP now boots cleanly and comes
&gt; up fine,
&gt;                                  ... BUT ...
&gt; my SystemRescueCD _WILL_NOT_BOOT again. All looks OK, up until:
&gt; 
&gt; * Starting USB and PCI hotplugging
&gt; Oops: 0000
&gt;  ... Yadada yadada ...
&gt; /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: line 173:  Segmentation fault ...
&gt; (7)eth0: no IPv6 routers present
&gt; 
&gt; My first (well, second) thought* was that ill-luck had damaged my CD copy,
&gt; so I made a fresh one. It crashes identically to the first. Knoppix boots
&gt; fine.
&gt; 
&gt; * My _first_ thought was really: &quot;$%^&amp;#@*!!! ???&quot;
&gt; 
&gt; Any idea what's happening here? I'm going to install Linux - probably
&gt; SuSe-9.3 - so this isn't necessarily a show-stopper (esp. since WinXP seems
&gt; to run as well as ever ;-), but
&gt; I would like to know what's going on!
&gt; 
&gt; TIA.
