I can think of 2 possible approaches at this point: * Use your Windows restore CD (which "should" have come with the machine) to "repair" the Windows installation. I've never done this, but I would expect that operation to start out by running the "fix" utility on the Windows partition(s). * Delete the NTFS partition, re-create it at the desired size (as NTFS, or FAT32, or as a second Linux partition), and then restore the data from backup. I'd suggest not using NTFS, because it is likely to be an ongoing pain under Linux with little if any benefit if you aren't going to be running Windows any more. In case you do still want the partition to be usable in Windows, FAT32 is likely to be better supported than NTFS in Linux.
