GParted and most Linux distros wont touch a hibernated Windows NTFS disk. Unfortunately by default Windows saves its kernel in hibernation files on shutdown to shave a few seconds off boot, this anti-fearure is called Fast Startup/Boot. When Windows hibernates it make gparted and other partitioning tools default to read only mode when mounting NTFS partition.
I believe you can run
ntfsfix /dev/sda2
(replacingsda2
with the drive name, seefdisk -l
for names of drives) to resolve this from a terminal in gparted and other OSes.You can also try to disable Fast Startup.
For partitioning, EaseUS has a great partitioning tool (Windows only) that works well with Windows partitions, it fails with anything more advanced than Ext2.
