How did you do it without loose your data? Did you use a paid software?
maybe he did but I know that Knoppix includes qtparted which interfaces with all the filsystem tools like mke2fs & ntfresize. The key to resizing a NTFS partition is to first scan disk it. Next defrag it. Then disable the Windows Virtual Memory & this will delete the swap file. Then boot knoppix & use qtparted to resize the ntfs partition. Boot back into windows & then either windows will detect the C: drive changed & will issue its own scan disk (in a Blue Screen) or you must issue a scan disk manually. Then enable Windows Virtual Memory which will rewrite the swap file.

Of course, There is ALWAYS some risk of losing data. Please ALWAYS make sure that you have a working backup of your important data prior to
experimenting with ANY new software, no matter if Windows, Linux or anything else.
