Good evening,
I am a total noob when it comes to linux/ubuntu and I'm a total disaster at it lol
I am trying to repartition my disk using a bootable usb drive.
My disk allocation looks like this (from GParted)
enter image description here
I am trying to reallocate the free space next to dev/sda6 (to then allocate it really to dev/sda7, where I have my actual linux OS)
However when I try to repartition dev/sda6 I get this error: (source Gparted details)
GParted 1.0.0

Filesystem check failed! Totally 5 cluster accounting mismatches.
ERROR: NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired.
Can a kind soul help me interpret this and possibly guide me on how to fix this issue. It is really important to me to reallocate this free space, otherwise I soon won't be able to use my main partition (where my actual linux OS is)
Thank you very much for any help.
Have a wonderful day :)
