Hello.
I want to fix an External HDD with NTFS file format. I did below commands :
Code:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc
Mounting volume... NTFS signature is missing.
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors... NTFS signature is missing.
FAILED
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
NTFS signature is missing.
Trying the alternate boot sector
Unrecoverable error
Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
Code:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb/

NTFS is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. There are no available standard specifications. (All Linux support for NTFS is based on reverse engineering.) This means that it is impossible to write a definitive NTFS file system checker for Linux. You _must_ use the Microsoft CHKDSK program to perform this function.

Boot your windows system and run chkdsk, read up on the parameters.
If you don't have windows installed, boot your windows install media and run chkdsk.
Borrow a windows CD/DVD and run chkdsk.
You need to have a BartsPE or UBCD4Win cd/dvd/usb for these tasks if you don't have a modern Windows dvd. Even a higher version windows dvd can be used to repair.
[QUOTE=hack3rcon;5590946]Hello.
I want to fix an External HDD with NTFS file format. I did below commands :
Code:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc
The command you ran was on the device (/dev/sdc), not the filesystem partition.
You might want to retry it as "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdcX" where X is the partition number for the ntfs partition where you are having problems.
