I resized a NTFS partition in linux using gparted. But now I can't read/mount partition any more. I have been unable figure just how to fix this (note I don't have windows installation working on PC right now). My question what software is out there can fix bad NTFS partitions?
Here is the error I get Fedora 13 went I try to mount that NTFS partition:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (976767984): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),
or a wrong device is tried to be mounted,
or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdc1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
