Listen, it's far simpler than that. Call Microsoft and tell them that you resized a file system with a third party tool and now your file system is corrupt and you'd like them to support you. Await the click and awkward silence.
hey, I'd hang up, too. I don't trust in-place partition shrinking, no matter WHAT the software.
my preferred method of resizing NTFS is to use Acronis TrueImage or another similar backup tool to make a complete file system image of the partitions of the disk onto external media, then repartition the disk and restore that image to new smaller partitions. If anything goes wrong like a system crash, power fail, etc during the first step, nothing is lost, just redo it. and if something goes wrong during the 2nd step, well, you have that full backup, you can restore it again.
