- Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/sda5'.
- You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
- IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you
- 1) create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
- 2) create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
- 3) do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
- 4) set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
- Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
- If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
- can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.
- [email protected]:/home/truman# fdisk
- Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
- E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk)
- or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk)
- or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
- or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices)
- I'm not sure what to do from here. As you can see, that partition originally had about 250GB worth of data. I decided to boot back to windows. It ran a disk check like it said it would, then booted normally. It allows me full access to that partition from windows, though it shows that it's disk usage is at close to 450/460GB. I'm not sure what to do here, other than back up all of my data and wipe the whole disk.
