I've needed to expand my linux part for a while as i do a lot of dev work on it. Unfortunately gparted stalled while shrinking the d: drive (several hours) and i was sure a shrink shouldn't take that long, so i aborded. The data is still in tact, but gparted won't let me attempt resizing until the ntfs is fixed by a windows program, which i currently don't have. Hence the wine. Speaking of which... kesten
