[ltp] Resize NTFS Partition?

[Dan Borello]

Thanks for the comments.  I tried doing this last week.  Even after  
restoring from the recovery partition I had data at the end that  
couldn't be moved.  I just used partition magic.  Your way would have  
been better.  Good work, this will help other people.
