That is on /dev/sda[n] if I understand correctly?
Do start a Debian Life CD or Knoppix and fsck /dev/sda[n]

Let me ask again to understand the whole picture better:
On which disk does your Debian system reside? On /dev/sda[n] with filesystem of
ext4 or on /dev/sdb2 with filesystem NTFS?
Do you have a swap partition? On which disk?
Why is /dev/sdb2 NTFS? Do you use it on both Debian and another computer with
MS-Windows or do you have Win7 installed on the same box as Debian and if so,
do you dual boot with grub or with the MS-Windows bootloader?
gparted does not seem to be the right tool to solve this problem. Why would
you resize a partition that gives you problems on a system that is most
probably the source of the problem?
Again: look from the outside and boot a Life CD...
You may e.g. use Knoppix 7.4.x. That way you need only to download the CD-
image and save yourself the trouble to download a whole DVD-image.
