Topic: SOLVED-Another current ntfs volume size is bigger than the device size

Hello All,

I also have a "volume size is bigger than the device size" problem after shrinking my ntfs (sda5) from ~80 to ~70 GB.
Here is the output of sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print

Model: ATA WDC WD2500BEVT-7 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 488397168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start       End         Size        Type      File system     Flags
 1      63s         143364059s  143363997s  primary   ntfs            boot
 2      143364121s  488392064s  345027944s  extended                  lba
 5      143364123s  290712239s  147348117s  logical   ntfs
 6      312335793s  337027634s  24691842s   logical   ext4
 7      337027698s  341124209s  4096512s    logical   linux-swap(v1)
 8      341124273s  488392064s  147267792s  logical   ntfs

Here is my current pbr I created with this command (please let me know if there are wrong values) 

sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/arif/Desktop/current.pbr bs=512 count=1 skip=143364123

I used Gparted 0.5.2 from Ubuntu 10.04 live CD.


Thanks in advance and Best Regards,

Never mind,

I could solved it by booting on windows and fixed by partition magic. smile
