Hi, I tried that already three weeks ago, and after 2 hours of displaying the typical 'this operation may take a few minutes, please wait ...' blue screen, the operation was aborted (checksum error or something similar, can't remember) So I simply decided that only a small amount of data on the windows partition was really important - after backing it up to the another partition, Windows was wiped out this cfdisk and reinstalled after that.
