Check NTFS Disk From Linux
 
How do I check NTFS disk for bad sectors from Linux? I looked a man fsck, but that appears only for Linux. I do not have a windows machine. The disk will not boot to Windows. I have the disk connected via USB.

I don't want to fix it. I just want to check the drive for bad sectors before installing anything on it.

No matter is it ntfs or ext4 or something else if you want to check drive for bad blocks/sectors.
