Is that only using Microsoft's tooling, or did you try ntfs3g from a Linux boot stick? I am grateful that I've never tried to recover borked NTFS, but my mental model is those utilities have explored more "off the beaten path" than Microsoft may want to bother with. And, in the worst(?) case, you can patch the utilities to do any kind of extra debugging you may need
- forgotpwd16 4y agoThe ntfs3g's ntfsfix is fairly limited and, besides some basic repairs, it will schedule the drive for checking on Windows.
- pantalaimon 4y agontfs3g is also obsolete and not really developed much anymore. Use the new in-kernel ntfs3 driver. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/ntfs3.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/ntfs3.htm...
- forgotpwd16 4y agoRegardless of driver utilized, the ntfs3g project contains the ntfsprogs userspace utilities such as aforementioned ntfsfix.
