Is it really a bug? I've had this problem before, though it was a Debian installation that borked things up with win xp. The problem, I believe relates to the way some filesystems save things all over the partition, rather than always at the front. I've managed to avoid this problem since by running disk compression utilities. So...
Did people run disk compression until all files were located at the begining of the partition? Sometimes you need to run a third-party compression utility at boot-up in order to move the system files. This is certainly true of fat file-systems, and I'm pretty sure it is also true with NTFS. If you resize a partition like this without compressing the fs, it overwrites parts of the partition (in my understanding). -- resizing NTFS partition broke Windows Vista https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298169 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
