I have a netbook that has a dead windows partition. I've installed ubuntu and have never tried to recover the dead windows installation. However, I now need that space in the main partition. I ran the liveUSB of ubuntu and ran gparted. I have an error on that partition.
Accounting clusters...
cluster accounting failed at 66892 (0x1054c): Missing cluster in $bitmap
Cluster accounting failed at 489569 (0x77861): extra cluster in...
I think I may have attempted to resize this and I got this error. Originally I didn't care, but now I would like to fix this.
I can not get into windows to fix anything, so I can't run scan disk or fix disk etc.... I'm not sure if I can get a command prompt. I don't have a CD drive.
Can I reinstall linux and use the entire hard drive? Will it do this, or will the cluster errors prevent this? Can I fix this so to resize the windows partition?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dennis
