Thank for replying! The problem with Windows's chkdsk is that it corrupts the bad clusters file (& then ignores that corruption), but when you boot Ubuntu, it fixes that file when it sees the corrupted values, after which Windows chkdsk gets run because the filesystem was changed by the ntfstools and as a result the bad clusters file is corrupted again, so next time you boot Ubuntu it fixes it, etc., etc. ;-)
The GUI tool in Windows doesn't use chkdsk (which is run during the boot), and AFAIK it works correctly; that would explain why it fixes the "error loop". -- Gparted can't resize NTFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
