Today I Learned:
That the included program ‘ntfsfix’ can be used to clear the record of bad sectors on a Windows partition.
I had cloned a Windows system from a bad hard drive that had some bad sectors. The file system log that noted those bad sectors came over in the clone, even though the drive I cloned it to is fine and has no bad sectors.
Found the problem when I was trying to use gparted to shrink the partition.
sudo ntfsfix -bd /dev/sda4After running that, gparted let me shrink the partition. After that, I’ll be making a few more adjustments and then cloning to a much faster nvme SSD.

Ein #Windows10 Rechner aus der Familie ist final in die Knie gegangen und hat wohl Teile (~1%) der Windows Partition auf der SSD zerlegt. Eventuell ist auch die GPU gestorben, muss im Grunde nicht ersetzt werden, beim Booten kommen Meldungen von wegen Hardware hat sich geändert. Windows Installations-/Recovery USB Images zeigen erst Windows Logo beim Laden, dann aber nur bläulicher Hintergrund und Mouse (Sprachausgabe geht per Tastatur), sonst keinerlei Menü.
