[LUG] Moving NTFS partitions with Gparted

 

Hi All,

I'm trying to make space on my HD to increase the Home partition (in the long run to host VMs). To cut a long story short I want to move an NTFS partition but GParted keeps saying there are errors on it and I have to boot into Windows 7 and 'run chkdsk /f /r and then reboot twice to fix the errors.' It then says I can run 'ntfsresize --bad-sectors' (no idea how to do that). I have run chkdsk and rebooted twice and gparted still won't move the partition. I've uploaded the error details to my website - http://www.kaotic.co.uk/gparted_details.htm and I would be grateful if someone could take a look and advise me what I am supposed to do next.

I have full backups of everything I need.

Kind regards,

Julian
