[gentoo-user] NTFS resizing

[Pingveno]

I'm trying to resize an NTFS partition to fit Gentoo on a new laptop. As 
recommended by countless sources all over the Internet, I am using 
Knoppix & Qtparted for resizing. However, QTParted complains about 
accounting errors in the NTFS filesystem (yes, I know that's redundant). 
After a little bit of Google searching, I discovered I needed to use 
chkdsk on Windows with the /f switch to fix the errors. Easy. Of course, 
chkdsk alerted me that it can't modify a running NTFS system. Okay, so I 
do what it recommends to me: let the checking be run after a reboot.

None of this is exactly extraordinary. However, there is the slight 
problem that chkdsk never actually runs at start up. No bueno. Any 
tricks to con it into working?
