I can't help you with the persistant home because I have never ever done a persistant home. But I can help you with resizing NTFS.

Before you view my post you will need to know two key warnings:
1.) Partitioning & resizing ALWAYS has a risk of losing data regardless of operating system or filesystem.
2.) Always backup ALL important data to separate media (a different HD, CDRs, DVDs, a network share on another PC) before attempting to install an OS or partition a HD.

That said, see my post here http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=72540#72540 where I resize an NTFS Windows XP-SP2 partition with Knoppix using qtparted. I would suggest that you defragment the NTFS C: drive before attempting to resize it.
I hope this helps.
