why 1019?

i did it, anyway no luck.
BUT!
you gave me some useful information, and i started a new search on google.
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsclone
what the program do is described and linked in that page, for who want to go
deep.
this tool is included also in systemrescuecd http://www.sysresccd.org/ from
1.1.1betasomething, but the name of the file to exec is ntfsreloc not
relocntfs.
i have burned the cd (maybe fastest, otherwise i have to double losetup: the
first to see the partition table, se second to see the partition) and
runned:
ntfsreloc -w /dev/sda1
started windows, all ok.
whithin windows i do not know how to resize the partition, i didn't found
anything on disk gestures...
so, to resize the partitions i have restarted system rescue cd, and runned
gparted (i am REALLY lazy today...) with mouse and all... resized the
partitions, restarted and voilà!
8GB C: xp.
thanks you,
and my 2 cents
bye
d.
