Topic: Messed up NTFS partition trying to resize
Hi,
I just tried to resize an NTFS partition containing Windows 7 and got an error halfway trough:
GParted 0.25.0 --enable-libparted-dmraid --enable-online-resize
Libparted 3.2
Check and repair file system (ntfs) on /dev/sda2 00:00:00 ( ERROR )

path: /dev/sda2 (partition)

end: 395440227
size: 395233380 (188.46 GiB)

NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired.
Now I cannot boot into Windows any more and I don't have a recovery disk. Is there any way to fix this from Ubuntu or Gparted Live?
