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?

P.S. This is a Thinkpad T43
You can try booting with "bartPE", or a disk you can make with "nlite".
These tools both allow you to create a bootable windows CD in the
Knoppix style.
