NAME

ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS

SYNOPSIS

ntfsfix device

DESCRIPTION

ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows. You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it's damaged and it can't be mounted.

AVAILABILITY
