Re: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device size! while resize

as it was an emergency to me, i tried something which is actually working:

backup the volume:

dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/media/MyHD/issue/sda5.img bs=512

mkdir /media/myBackup && mount.ntfs-3g /media/MyHD/issue/sda5.img /media/myBackup

All my files where there so i can breathe again wink

hope this will be helpfull for anybody else wink
