resize NTFS partition in GParted? up vote 8 down vote favorite My family PC has Windows Vista and lately it has became unusable, having strange errors and taking hours to do anything at all, so I'm installing Ubuntu 11.10 alongside it. I went into GParted to resize the Vista partition but found that it had an exclamation point in a red circle next to it: I tried to resize it but the Resize/Move gparted boot flag button was grayed out. I thought that this might have to do with the exclamation point so I looked at the information and found a load of errors: What does the exclamation point mean? How can I resize my partition? UPDATE 1 I booted into Safe Mode with Command Prompt in Vista as suggested by eug and ranchkdsk c: /F /R (/F Fixed errors on the disk, /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information) and got: Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/) When I reboot it doesn't run chkdsk, I'm selecting Safe Mode with Command Prompt again because I can't boot normally. How can I stop it being used? UPDATE 2 I tried doing what Luis suggested. Here is the terminal output: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda3 Mounting volume... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/sda3 was processed successfully. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I need to shrink the partition that Vista is installed on. (It's an NTFS partition.) I tried using Vista's own disk manager, but it didn't work. I heard that GParted can resize NTFS partitions - is this true? Is it a safe tool for resizing partitions? Are there any potential issues I should be aware of if I use it? partitioning gparted share|improve this question edited Dec 15 '15 http://askubuntu.com/questions/1813/is-gparted-a-good-tool-for-resizing-an-ntfs-partition at 15:11 Zacharee1 11.1k52543 asked Aug 9 '10 at 23:27 Nathan Osman 18.2k22109208 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 16 down vote accepted gparted is a great partitioning tool - I have used it to resize FAT, NTFS, EXT[2..4] and haven't run into any issues as of yet. However - with all disk operations there is always the possibility of failure and that should always be weighed during resizing. Make sure you have nothing mounted to the drives you're attempting to resize, ensure that you have ample CPU and RAM to perform the operations. If you're on a Laptop make sure it's plugged in and that it won't suspend or hibernate while performing these operations. Lastly this can be time intensive - my last tip is, while gparted is running it may appear unresponsive or frozen. Just let it finish. share|improve this answer answered Aug 10 '10 at 0:21 Marco Ceppi♦ 31.1k20132180 That's good enough for me - thanks! –Nathan Osman Aug 10 '10 at 0:51 Absolutely, also I read somewhere that it is a good idea to let a windows boot run chkdsk on a newly resized partition. I do as a matter of procedure so don't know if skipping it would be ok, but it's easy enough. Mentioned because usually I do this in conjunction with a dual boot installation, and the point is, don't

Join Date Mar 2010 Location Switzerland Beans 176 DistroUbuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Can't resize Partition in GParted (yellow warning besides unmounted partition) Hello, I have a USB Multiboot created with pendrivelinux.com. I have tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a small laptop, but I get the problem that the installer wants to either: 1) Partition my USB key and install it there 2) Install it on my drive and destroy the Windows Partition 4) Install it on my key and destroy everything on it. 3) Manually setup the partitions When manually setting up partitions, I cannot resize the windows partition. GParted can't resize that partition (there is a triangular ! yellow warning sign, similar to this thread's icon, but yellow). GParted on the USB (GParted Environment) has the same problem as GParted in Ubuntu. It seems to be locked, even though I am in root and I have every hard drive partition unmounted. I will post screenshots of the error message in the following hour. A noteworthy Ubuntu GuideFound a bug? Report it. Adv Reply June 22nd, 2010 #2
