Hello!
Your reasoning is, indeed, correct.
I guess I've never experienced this problem with a NTFS partition because I always leave some room (5-10 GB) at the end for growth when I shrink one with GPartEd (LL's partition editor), and of course, CHKDSK is triggered automatically to verify the new, smaller partition. I just did this last night to put a dual-boot XP/Windows 7 system on a PC with GPartEd, booted from a LiveCD.
At the risk of being off-topic (but not when considering that some folks run a MS/Linux dual boot), one problem ALL versions of Windows share is that the swap file is set by default to be regulated automatically by Windows, and Windows ALWAYS sets the swap file size to be too small. If it's reset to a fixed size that is 1.5 times the amount of RAM and rebooted to finalize the change, this will speed up ANY Windows OS...
