I got it and it gave an option to delete the ntfs but not to resize. am I doing something wrong? the ntfs is unmounted.

You need partition magic. You will not be able to resize a ntfs partition within linux. Reboot into a partition magic boot cd and resize the ntfs partition. It is a commercial app but I am sure that you can find it on the net.
