I'm trying to resize an NTFS partition to fit Gentoo on a new laptop. As |
| 2 |
recommended by countless sources all over the Internet, I am using |
| 3 |
Knoppix & Qtparted for resizing. However, QTParted complains about |
| 4 |
accounting errors in the NTFS filesystem (yes, I know that's redundant). |
| 5 |
After a little bit of Google searching, I discovered I needed to use |
| 6 |
chkdsk on Windows with the /f switch to fix the errors. Easy. Of course, |
| 7 |
chkdsk alerted me that it can't modify a running NTFS system. Okay, so I |
| 8 |
do what it recommends to me: let the checking be run after a reboot. |

None of this is exactly extraordinary. However, there is the slight |
| 11 |
problem that chkdsk never actually runs at start up. No bueno. Any |
| 12 |
tricks to con it into working? |
