Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
I just got my laptop back from repair after the disk crashed. It came
back with a replacement 120GB hdd, with WinXP installed on a single
120GB FAT partition.
I booted the feisty live CD, which took me to an error message
(something about the X server seg faulting).
Installed the fglrx drivers allowed me to restart gdm and get the X
server up and running.
I then tried using gparted to resize the 120GB FAT partition to 60GB.
It took a while, then told me the resize had failed.
I'll attach a screenshot with the details.
I then ran the check command manually, and saw the following,
contradicting the error message in the screenshot.
