I have Windows 7 and Windows 10 dual booted on my PC. Today, I tried to extend my Win 7 partition and shrunk the Win 10 partition to do so. Since the unallocated space was before my Windows 7 partition, I couldn't use Windows Disk Management and had to use EaseUS instead. After the operation completed, the Win 7 partition appeared to have increased in size by the amount I had specified but the free space available was still the same as before. I ran CHKDSK and found this in the Event Viewer:


CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap.

CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the volume bitmap.

Windows has made corrections to the file system.


In spite of this, the issue persists. I ran CHKDSK again and it claims to find no issues.


What can I try to fix this?


Thanks in advance.
