Re: How can I fix my NTFS partition?
First, it would help to specify which software you used to shrink the partition. The built in Disk Management? Or third party?
With windows it's usually normal to "start" the shrink operation while it's running, because that's the only way you can open programs (it has no live mode). But that only creates a sort of script, it then tells you to reboot and actually does the shrinking while windows is not running.
If it didn't do its job properly out of what ever reason, the partition table is probably messed up. If it is, chkdsk can't help much because it doesn't even see a partition to check, as you said it reports RAW format.
I agree that ubuntu tools for NTFS can rarely help in this situation. Even if they do, windows might still not like that.
What you can do from ubuntu live mode is download and run a program called Testdisk which scans the disk for partitions that existed earlier and in many cases can restore them back. You have a step by step here:
www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
VERY IMPORTANT: Testdisk can help much, and also mess it up much more! If you don't understand it, ask before doing any actions. I suggest you first do the Deeper Search, post the screenshot of it which will show all old partitions found (including ones you might have deleted on purpose), and then we can see what can be done.
