partition sizes
ok, here's the story. i have 2 hard drives. windows is installed on my main hard drive. i had ubuntu installed on the second one, along with a large partition for movies/tv shows/etc. ubuntu had been screwing so i decided to just wipe the ubuntu partition, and resize the other partition into the new empty space. gparted, being a pain in the ass, decided it wanted to remount the partition while trying to resize it, so it caused an error, but showed that it had resized it just fine. so i reboot into windows, but the partition is the same size as it was before, 238 GB, as opposed to the 278 that it should be. i've rebooted with the ubuntu live cd, and gparted still thinks it's 278GB, but windows insists it's 238GB. any idea how to address this issue?

Perhaps the partition has
Perhaps the partition has been resized, but the filesystem hasn't. Typically, you have to resize both the partition and the filesystem in seperate steps - does the livecd have a 'resize_ntfs' type tool? I know for reiser if you just call 'resize_reiserfs /path/to/partition' it will automatically resize it to fill the entire partition.
