Hello sir, you could boot up into dos and resize your partition with
partition magic how I usually do, it provides maximum safety and
compatibility with ntfs.
On the other hand, a friend of mine was using ntfs disk with file
encryption and after ONE file has gone in his windows installation
(god knows how) he was not able to boot into windows anymore. After he
reinstalled windows he could not access his encrypted files anymore
because he did not have a backup copy of the private encryption key.
Which means: Use Windows - loose data!
