Here's what I've done when there was a need for resizing an ntfs
partionion, while installing skolelinux:
boot with the skolelinux CD, but stopped before autopartkit is run.
insert a cd with a static version of ntfsresize from
http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html#static, and ran
ntfsresize, tvice, first to make room for the new partitions, then
after using cfdisk to resize, I've run ntfsresize a second time to use
the whole partition. I've done this 5 or 6 times, and only failed once,
when I made the partition to small (smaler than the resized size
obvisly)
adding ntfsresize in the installer image, would be helpfull
even if it has to be run from the command line.
