create ntfs partition fdisk

[anthonyriga]

Thanks guys I tried it and it worked. Is ther anyway
of resizing a winblows NTFS partition with Linux
fdisk. I have tried to use partition magic to do that
but have had issues with crap running in Winblows and
was getting errors that said cant lock drive. Funny
thing though with partition magic is you can create
Linux partions using winblows but they dont make any
partiton magic for Linux as Im aware of. Is there any
type of stuff that does that? If so what is it?
