I was told that after ntfsresize (ntfs resize), the fdisk command needs to be run...

But how can it be run? What is the exact line?

In a book Knoppix Hacks, it seems to suggest needing some parameter except it is not using any in its example. Does any one know how?

Is the line:

sudo fdisk /dev/hda

all that's needed?
