    @ThomasW. i don't mind a self-booting tool; using whatever OS it likes. Of course i'd prefer a GUI tool. i got tired of using command lines in 1990. i started to looking into using CreateFile to open the volume directly; but realized i'd have to start from scratch, parsing all the undocumented data structures. i opened the volume directly for editing in my favorite hex editor but had the same down-side, having to manually parse hex structures.

  • @ThomasW. why even ask if you can't answer for how to fix it in linux? if all you want to say is that if fixing it from a linux live cd is fine then you don't know how but he should add a linux tag.

  • ntfsclone, used in clonezilla, should be just fine with this, if the right options is used. In worst create creating a raw image of the partition. and use ntfsresize. I agree that this should be fixable in Windows, but it also good to know about other tools, and raw mirroring on SSDs is not the best thing. (hopefully windows does the right thing)
