[SOLVED] Need help with Partitions

Calowed · 2024-07-01 02:42:10

Hello everyone, I want to triple boot Ubuntu, Windows, and Arch. I know how to do this, problem being that windows doesn't allow me to make partitions on my C: drive, which is the same drive that my linux is installed on. Specifically, I get a drive is corrupt message whenever I try to shrink volume to make a partition for my arch install. I tried to make the partition from linux with GParted, but that still didn't let me make a partition even after I unmounted it. What do I do?

1. I have already tried chkdsk on windows, that doesn't fix it. I've tried many things on windows to get it fixed, none of which worked.
2. GParted does let me make a partition, thing being that it doesnt let me set the size of the partition.

simplest fix: wipe the drive and start from scratch
- if required: backup important files to another drive
- if required: buy an additional drive big enough to backup your data
otherwise: lot of trail and error await you - are you sure you want to suffer from that instead of investing a couple bucks into a new drive ayway?
