Topic: Bad Sectors option

Tried to resize a partition and it came back saying a bad cluster was detected.  Said to backup, and run CHKDSK and then reboot twice.  Did so.  Same error.  Next suggestion it has is to run bad sector option in ntfsresize.  How do I do that?

Re: Bad Sectors option

for the moment you have to do this yourself running ntfsresize from the command line. Use 'man ntfsresize' to find out about the badblocks option.
In the future we will support enabling this in the GUI, but right now it's not possible.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335595 for progress on this issue.
