fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda1
(Your error message will look similar to the one above)
I use a dual boot of Ubuntu 11.10 and Window 7.
I do not know exactly what caused the problem but while using ubuntu i could not mount any windows machine file-system (HPFS/NTFS/exFAT/FAT)
Here are some known causes
-If you did not eject/unmount properly before removing your disk drives
-if you recently updated your system
Tried and failed solutions for me
- I tried "chkdsk" oh windows command prompt which gave no errors/bad sectors
- Restarted and scanned disk at windows boot.
-In windows, went to the drive location and right clicked and change properties, even shared to everyone
- I also tried "fsck" command on ubuntu terminal which gave me the error on the title.
-ntfsfix did not fix it
- run command "ntfsresize -fi /dev/sda8" on ubuntu terminal did not fix it either
- Defragmenting the faulting drive on windows machine also did not fix the problem
Working Solution:
1) In Ubuntu terminal install ntfs-config
via terminal run command
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
via software repository
Click here to install the ''ntfs-config'' package
2) Using ntfs-config
Launch ntfs-config from Applications->System Tools,
or
via the terminal:
gksudo ntfs-config
it will allow you to check both boxes, otherwise you can only check the box for external devices.
