Topic: [SOLVED]Current NTFS Volume Size is bigger than the device size
Hey everyone,
I was trying to shrink my external hard drive from 750GB ntfs partition to around 650GB. After running the program I got the error "Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size". I'm really new to this so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now. I tried looking around the forums and I think I'm supposed to provide this info
fdisk -l -u:
