Hello! For the record, I just got the below email from Kent. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 13:17:35 -0800 From: "Larsen, Kent B" <ken...@bo...> To: Szakacsits Szabolcs <sz...@si...> Subject: RE: ntfd-decompress-mapping-pairs error Hello Szaka, The "chkdsk /f" did the trick. I could see that it fixed a couple of errors but it happened so fast I couldn't write down what they were. I then tried to install Mandrake 10.0 (and use ntfsresize) and it worked flawlessly. I now have a laptop that boots w2k and Linux!
