Rescue Windows Hard Disk with Linux.... chkdsk
I have a non booting 2TB disk, that when I removed it from the computer and connected via USB on another windows machine, it said it wanted to format it
I therefore used a bootable FATDOG Linux disk in the computer that won't boot, and after a struggle, finally lists the contents of the non bootable disk Is there a Linux command similar to CHKDSK that can be attempted without losing files, so that it has a better chance to boot into windows ? Thanks |

I am not familiar with FATDOG Linux, but if it has NTFSProgs then you can use fsck.ntfs or fsck -t ntfs to check and fix the filesystem of an NTFS (Windows) disk.

The command is: "fsck.ntfs" or "fsck -t ntfs"
There are many LiveCD's that have NTFSProgs, but I don't know first-hand which ones do. I do know that SystemRescueCD does. |
