** Description changed: Binary package hint: gparted - Not sure how to best install this, but confirmed it with several recent + Not sure how to best describe this, but confirmed it with several recent versions of gparted, including the one inside the live Hardy CD, two bootable gparted CDs, and a Mandriva live CD. The gparted program runs normally, but the NTFS partition cannot be resized. There is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and the information says that BadClust could not be decompressed, that the contents are unreadable, and that some operations are not available, obviously including the resizing operation. The partition can be mounted, and I can wander around inside the data files, but of course that locks the partition in gparted, and it still can't be resized. Unmounting it also works, but then it goes back to the yellow triangle state... Not sure how much background of what kind is needed, but here goes: The machine in question is a Sharp PC-WA70-L. I've been running Ubuntu in the other partition for about a year. The machine ships with the main NTFS partition (about 80 GB), a smaller partition that I converted for Ubuntu (about 11 GB), and a recovery partition (about 6 GB), so I didn't need to use gparted before this. However, now I want to split off a fresh partition and try Hardy from scratch there. Ubuntu has never run that well on the machine, actually, and based on the live CD tests, it already seems pretty certain that at least one of the problems remains unsolved. As usual, I'll be glad to do a certain amount of diagnostic work, but I don't want to make a career out of it...
