So I was finally able to resuscitate my Windows, with all my files intact. after running a chkdsk /f I now am given the option to resize /dev/sda1. But whenever I try to, it finds a problem during the run simulation phase. What does this mean? Should I defragment the hard drive more?
Here are details BTW
