I chose to chck the disk from within Windows and it went through the 3 stages and upon completion it said that it was done and that was it. I found this a bit fishy after I already sent my email, so I ran chkdsk from the command prompt and there it told me there was some kind of error with the Bitmap. I go back to the Windows version and it didn't telll me anything was wrong again, while the CLI version did say so. Finally I enabled the option "fix errors automatically" in the GUI version and then it told me it had to schedule it to be run at the next boot. So, reboot, it run chkdsk, fixes the errors and all good. Boot back into my Linux bootcd and ntfsresize works like a charm. I misakenly assumed that if I didn't tell the GUI chkdsk to automatically fix errors that it would at least tell me if it found _any_. Learned something new today (and am not at all surprised by this inconsistency. Windows is still loaded with it). Thanks for trying to help, but it ended up being a user error on my part rather than a software error on you guys' part. -- Gerard Beekmans http://linuxfromscratch.org /* Linux Consultant --- OSDN / DevChannel * * Technical Writer --- CheapBytes */ /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */ |
