I know, but my question is as follows:
it is a given that windows will not consolidate free space. Now, does Gparted magically work around this limitation when shrinking the NTFS partition without affecting the used portion? When you see its interface, you get a bar for the partition showing used and unused portions with different colours. Apparently, I can resize the partition by resizing the bar to take lesser unused space. Will doing this only affect the unused space, which according to NTFS is non-contiguous? It seems a bit counter-intuitive to me.
