Sean, thanks for the info. I just tried the GParted 
http://gparted.sourceforge.net and it works just fine.

The site has the Live-CD that allows me to boot from CD and load the GUI 
interface of Parted. Easy to use. I have just only tried resize the NTFS 
partition and it works well. Will do the partition copy tomorrow.
