Hi,
Linux had no problem with Vista Beta NTFS support in the past but there is
indication that this may have changed with the latest Vista Beta releases.
I would like to ask people's help to confirm or refute this situation.
Please, anybody who has the possibility, follow the below instructions and
let us know if Vista can or can not boot:
1. Install the __latest__ Vista Beta.
2. Boot Linux or a LiveCD with ntfsresize included (most have and all
ntfsresize versions must support the latest Vista Beta).
3. Run the below command:
ntfsresize -i <vista_partition>
The "Current volume size:" field will show the NTFS size in bytes
and in MB, which is needed for the next step.
4. Make NTFS size maximum 1 MB smaller:
ntfsresize -s <new_size> <vista_partition>
after which you should see a message like:
"NTFS had been successfully resized on device <vista_partition>"
5. Reboot into Vista. You must see the scheduled chkdsk running after
which Vista should either continue booting fine (data partition) or
automatically initiate a reboot of the computer (system partition).
Please also ask your friends, co-workers and communities to test this if
they have the possibility. The community's help is very much needed now!
I'll post a summary of the feedbacks here and to all participants regularly
until we have a definite conclusion.
Thank you in advance,
Szaka
