Maybe you'r right... Anyways, I was able to fix my computer! chkdsk did the job with some parameters to force it to do. Thanks for all the help!

That is actually something I would buy!

@sulu I would love to have much more privacy, but I really need Windows for some of my tasks. So, not professional-level privacy.

Well, I guess that also is a way of saying "thanks for the Lamborghini, losers!"

Wowowow. Really? What the actual ...? They are giving a sign of a dead project, I guess.

Well, it's been a while since I disabled auto updates (you know, that privacy thing) so I don't think it'll change THAT much for me. Also, my computer's been running, copying stuff and being plugged-in non-stop for 2 days or so. I hope it won't damage my computer much.

Thank you! That will be the first thing I'll do after my backup finishes copying.

That regular backup thing... If it didn't take more than 3 days, I would do it. I also would love to use Linux as regular desktop, but I have lots of software that won't work on it.

We made it to the news, guys! ^^

Uh, sorry, I won't update my PC to Windows 10 for various reasons. But thanks anyways! Also, I don't have a Windows DVD, so I guess I also have to burn it to a stick? I don't know, my computer came with Windows 8.1 so...

Wow. It's been running overnight (Although the copying process stopped on a "special file" which I had to continue) and the USB is not even a bit warm. :P I don't know. My friend is dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10 and it's working perfectly. I asked him why he is doing that and he said it's...

I will do just that after finish copying all files to a hard drive. Just wanna play safe y'know :D Also, would it damage my files if I try to shrink my files again, but using gparted? I really want to fully install Linux and use it from there, I'm always nervous about using live Linux for a long...

I did just that from seeing it on a tutorial. It says it's finished but Windows is still refusing to boot :( Nvm, I'll just keep my PC opened overnight and wait my files to be copied. Hope something doesn't go wrong :(

Can't I just do something like chkdsk from Linux? I have only 2 flash drives, one is for personal data and the other one for live Linux. I am also copying stuff on a hard drive, but with the looks of it, it will take a LONG time.

For the third time, YES I AM! :P (do not take it too serious :D)

What do you mean? My Linux from a live USB stick boots just fine.

Uhh. I think I wasn't clear. I am using the same computer right now, from a stick, and also copying all my stuff to a hard drive. I also checked Gparted, it still seems like my hard drive volumes did not change. Sorry, I am not that good at English :)

Yeah, I'll probably end up formatting my computer and putting the data back in.

So, hello there! Today, I was just trying to dual-boot Debian with my Windows 8.1. I was trying to shrink my drive (I needed 100 GB) and even though I had 350 GB free, it wouldn't let me down 35 GB. I tried a defrag software, but it didn't work. So I fired the Internet browser to search for...

Oh, thanks for the info ED!
