Press I to ignore, S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery Following the suggestion in this answer, I ran fsck from the manual recovery shell. I got this output: fsck from util-linux 2.19.1 fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda1 I can't find fsck.ntfs, and command-not-found doesn't help either. How can I make this error go away? By the way, I've tried booting into Windows (XP) several times, thinking that Windows would repair the filesystems. But apparently Windows thinks the filesysystems are just fine. And it's odd that all NTFS filesystems are affected. Also, I can work around this problem by dropping to a recovery shell and issuing mount -a, but for my coworkers' sakes I need unattended boot. ntfs fsck share|improve this question edited Sep 14 '14 at 15:22 Braiam 38.9k1693154 asked Dec 8 '11 at 7:37 Scott Severance 8,11252562 1 I can't find fsck.ntfs I think you should go with ntfsck or ntfsfix for ntfs partitions, AFAIK fsck is mainly used for ext partition. –sagarchalise Dec 8 '11 at 7:56 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 32 down vote accepted fsck.ntfs is usually

This is handled by fsck on recent releases. If the partition is not listed in /etc/fstab, then you will likely need to tell it the partition type. I've used this from a Linux CD to recover a partition Windows wouldn't boot from. share|improve this answer answered Jan 15 '11 at 21:44 BillThor 7,37121217 5 Although as noted in the man page for ntfsfix/fsck.ntfs, it is not a Linux version of chkdsk and only checks for certain kinds of obvious problems on the disk. –SabreWolfy Dec 19 '11 at 10:03 1 I assume from the above comment that fsck.ntfs was at some point handled by ntfsfix. Comments on a lower post indicate this may not be workable now as their arguments are not compatible. Anyway, in Debian 8.2, fsck.ntfs does not exist - but ntfsfix does and was able to fix a corrupted MFT I encountered. Thanks @SabreWolfy for the hint. –underscore_d Nov 5 '15 at 23:24 add a comment| up vote 5 down vote Unfortunately the ntfsfix tool is very limited compared to Mic
