I have a dual boot system with windows 2000/linux and wanted to grab some of the spare space on the ntfs partition for linux. I made a systemrescuecd (0.2.8) but it couldn't resize the ntfs partition as it was fragmented. I rebooted into 2000 and defragmented it (noticing that it gave a list of files it hadn't actually defragmented at the end). After rebooting using the systemrescuecd I got the same error about the ntfs filesystem being fragmented. I then defragmented it again, it appeared to actually do some more but still had a few files it said it had not defragmented. After rebooting, systemrescuecd gave me a very similar (but not identically phrased) error to before and still wouldn't resize the partition. Essentially I have two questions and a request a) What am I to do? Is there a different more aggressive way of defragmenting in 2000 that I have missed? b) Could there be some docs on how to defragment so that ntfsresize will work? I very rarely use Windows and am quite lost. c) If ntfsresize were able to do this for you it would be fantasic! Kind regards, Raphael |
