Re: [LUG] Moving NTFS partitions with Gparted

 

YOu can do this within win 7 as advised by right clicking on the C drive
in  My Pc, then using tool click the check disk for errors ( and fix
them). It will then say it can as it's being used but will set it to run
on next reboot.
So reboot allow chkdsk to run and fix errors.
Again reboot after so the disk should be clean ...
Then reboot to Linux and carry on 
If you  do actually have "Bad Blocks" physical damage then its a New
disk!
