Resize an NTFS partition using Linux

Here's the existing partition structure:

# fdisk -l -u /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 465.8 GiB, 500106780160 bytes, 976771055 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xa7cea7ce

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1  *      2048    206847    204800   100M  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb2       206848 976766975 976560128 465.7G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
