    Hello,

    I have had this problem myself today, and a good solution is to use a “LiveCD” system such as Ubuntu (it has NTFS support via the ntfs-3g driver).

    Just boot it up from the disc and you can do basically anything you want to your partitions. You don’t need to install it as a full-fledged OS on your machine, but the LiveCD system provides many useful utilities for things like this.

    Just a tip. Cheers.
