i need help with resizing NFTS also i use g parted but it says it doesn't recognize the file system and therefor cant split or resize it, also it will not let me unmount the drive, i also get an error with Ubuntu, it eather hangs on the HDD partitioning 6.10 or fails to resize it 7.04 beta 4
The hard drive is running good now (it has xp home on it just fine) so i dont see why it refuses to partition or unmount it
my next step is to burn kinoppix to a cd and try it.
i did however have to reinstall windows xp 3 times in the summer because it kept getting corrupted, so may by my HDD is dying? but if it was would windows be able to pass chkdisk?
it is about 5 years old (WD caviler 40gb 5400rpm)
not sure what that could be,
thanks
btw admins if u feal im Hijacking this thread ill\ you can open a new one
edit: when i use kinoppix (QTparted)to resize the partition it says " hopelessly there are many bad sectors" and wont resize it, is the drive dying as i thought or can i fix the sectors with something other then chkdisk
