Topic: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

Hi Guys, I was just trying to adjust the size of one of mi partitions and something has apparently gone wrong. If you can help you are welcome! I'm not an expert and besides all warnings and advices I haven't done a backup of my information (I know what you would think of me) but I'm in real trouble. yikes

Thank you very much in advance!

Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/sda5'.
You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you
1) create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
2) create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
3) do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
4) set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

With regard of the last message the log says

" Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda4 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda4 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

I have tried to reboot and nothing happens, partition is not even recognized as NTFS.... I suspect it should be easy to correct this because all the process gone right thru....

Please boys, I need some help here!!!

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

To fix this problem we will need the output from the following two commands:

fdisk -l -u

where one of the options is a lower case "L" and not a one.

parted /path-to-your-device unit s print

where /path-to-your-device is something like /dev/sda.

After you provide this information, I will provide additional commands that are needed to get copies of the Master Boot Record, and also the NTFS Partition Boot Record.

EDIT:
Since similar problems have been reported by other users, I have created a bug report in GParted:
GParted Bug #601574 - ERROR: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size!

We can continue to solve your specific partition problem in this forum post.  The bug report will be used to solve the root problem in GParted.

Are you using a Live CD?  If so which one and which version?

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

In this situation, I think the correct option is to change NTFS Partition Boot Record.  This is because we cannot have a file system starting at sector 695,228,940 that is 860449116672 bytes (1,680,564,681 sectors) in size.  That would require a drive size of 2,375,793,621 sectors when the drive is clearly only 1,953,525,168 in size smile.

To do this I will need a copy of the NTFS PBR.  You can capture the NTFS Partition Boot Record in a file with the following command:

NOTE:  Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss of data could result.

dd if=/dev/sda of=sda5-pablo.pbr bs=512 count=1 skip=695228940

where sda5-pablo.pbr is the name of the file that will need to be uploaded.

Next upload the file to a media sharing site, such as mediafire, and post a link to it back here in this forum.

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

The change I have made to the file is from a length of 1,680,565,580 sectors:
00000020   00 00 00 00  80 00 80 00  C8 61 2B 64  00 00 00 00
To a new length of 1,258,291,124 sectors:
00000020   00 00 00 00  80 00 80 00  B4 FF FF 4A  00 00 00 00

Note:  The NTFS volume size is always 1 sector less than the total number of sectors in the partition table entry because the NTFS backup sector is not considered part of the NTFS volume.

To apply this change:

1) Download the new NTFS PBR: sda5-pablo_new.pbr

2) Load the new NTFS PBR on your hard disk.
NOTE:  Be extra careful when entering the commands.  Data loss could result otherwise.

dd if=sda5-pablo_new.pbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=695228940

3) Reboot the computer

4) If all seems fine then I would advise booting into Windows and running "chkdsk /f /r" multiple times, until there are no more faults.


NOTE:  We are tracking a problem with GParted resizing file systems.  See post:
WARNING! Problem Resizing File Systems with GParted

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

Hi gedakc, I've done the procedure untill step 3. I'm afraid of going further into step 4 since windows still doesn't recognize the partition as a valid NTFS FileSystem. not even Gparted. (it says Unknown)

Is this a bad news for me? I haven't done any change to the disk besides your strictly procedures posted here.

I hope we can still save it ...... please!

Thank you.

Regards,
Pablo

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

Hmm... that is strange.  I rechecked my calculations and all looks good.

Would you be able to check with GParted Live 0.4.6-1?

If the problem still persists, would you be able to post files of both the Master Boot Record, and the NTFS Boot Record (again)?


You can capture the Master Boot Record in a file with the following command:

NOTE:  Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss of data could result.

dd if=/dev/sda of=sda-pablo2.mbr bs=512 count=1

where sda-pablo2.mbr is the name of the file that will need to be uploaded.


You can capture the NTFS Partition Boot Record in a file as noted in post #7.  Please give this file a new name such as sda5-pablo2.pbr.


Then upload these files to a media sharing site and post the link to these files in this forum post.

Re: [SOLVED] Move /dev/sda5 (NTFS) to the right and shrink it ERROR

Hi gedakc !

Now I can write at full capability! in my full sized keyboard of desktop computer... haha
Sorry for that, but I was reaching late to university and simultaneously fifteen minutes before a strong rainfall come and after my first post I suddenly lost total internet connectivity at home. the ISP delayed six hours to fix whatever it caused the network shortage.

Anyway, I'm extremely happy to announce you that right now I'm coping all the information from the disk (you have saved me) after the Gparted resize failure operation. All the information seems to be ok and reliable. RAR files opens good, and pictures are also seen right. I think is everything ok now having done this simple checks.

All it was needed was to reboot after the last command you gave me "dd if=sda5-pablo_new.pbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=695228940" to see the partition again as ntfs in Gparted and the reboot again with M$ operating system to do the repair with chkdsk tool. First try it fixed the partition type to be seen again as ntfs in diskpart and after a second reboot and the second chkdsk everything seem to be fixed!

Thank you very much, for all your time and good predisposition.
Gparted is a very good app and I hope you can improve it even more after this experience!

Best Regards,
Have a nice weekend!
Pablo Alonso
