The message says you can use "chkdsk /f/r", which can be entered from the start menu, selecting "run" and then type that in.

I right clicked on local Disk(c:) and went to the tools tab, then clicked on "Check Now" and put a check mark on "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. It was scanning for about 10 minutes or so.
After it was done, I ran "chkdsk /f/r" on run then I recieved the following information:
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? <y/n>
I clicked on "Y"
After that I restarted the computer then it brought me to a blue screen. From there on out, I don't know what it was doing but it was checking something. I don't know if it tried to repair something or not. I just left it alone until it finished doing its job.
Then when it was all done, I logged on normally.
From what I was thinking, I thought that everything was all fixed. So I booted the computer with Gparted again to try and resize my ntfs partition, but then again it failed. I still recieved the same information which was this:
ntfsresize -P-i-f-v /dev/hda1
ntfsresize v1.13.0(libntfs 9:0:0)

It should take more than 10 minutes to do a surface scan of 40Gb. You might try running it again from "My Computer" and see if it sees anything.
Another option, which is better, is to download a diagnostic program from the maker of the disk and test it that way. That should give you more information and more details.
It might be that the there is a problem with the ntfsresize. The last line of the program says that there is a "--bad-- sectors" option (-b). See http://man.linux-ntf...fsresize.8.html

It's ok now. I have Redhat installed with XP. Here is what I did:
I deleted my old windows partition which was the ntfs, then booted Redhat and resized my ntfs partition and created /ext3 and swap on the new free spaces. After everything was all resized and partitioned, I had to wait until Redhat was ready to install itself, but then I didn't want that just yet so I restarted the computer and took out the Redhat cd and quickly booted with my XP cd.
Then that's when I did a fresh installation of Xp onto the vfat partition. When installation was complete, I installed all of my drivers and utitlities.
After that, I booted the computer with Redhat and started the full complete installation.
From all of this, I didn't use Gparted which was cool, I guess
But anyway, just to let you know kemasa that I'm doing alright. Again thanks for spending your time helping me.
Only thing now is to try and get my internet back up and running again. I'll be back with more questions, maybe.
