Topic: a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart
after resizing my windows xp partition using gparted on a live cd, windows wont boot--even after repairing the boot sector using fixboot and the master boot record using fixmbr, respectively.
when i look at the directories on c:\ (in the recovery console) i can see that folders like "documents and settings," "program files," and "windows" dont have a file/folder size. also, they dont have any other "flags" than d------- (the file "ntldr" has -arhs---).
it looks like the file allocation table (if ntfs even uses one) is missing/corrupt... idk.
i was under the impression that gparted was a NON-DESTRUCTIVE partition manager.
please help.
