I too noticed this issue today when trying to resize an NTFS partition on a new laptop. When running the Live CD of Feisty Fawn Herd 5 I also tried to use gparted and got a more helpful error message. It follows:

"Checking filesystem consistency ...<BR>Accounting clusters ...<BR>Cluster accounting failed at 3147732 (0x3007d4): extra cluster in $Bitmap<BR>Filesystem check failed! Totally 1 cluster accounting mismatches.<BR>ERROR: NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!<BR>The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was<BR>and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired."
