Hi,
Only only briefly flirted with Win8, but having read in various forums/threads depending on how Win8 is setup it can make disk management a bit more difficult.?
From what I read if you have "Fast Boot" and/or "Hibernation" enabled it seems to set flags/locks on the disk which may account for why within Win8 you are unable to resize.??
I can see the rational, if you try to shrink it, you could inadvertently make it smaller than Win8 needs for it's own internal needs..??
Having said that, not sure what the impact will be if you re-size it from "outside" of Win8 with gparted.
