Fixing NTFS devices in Ubuntu

I am running Zorin OS 5 which is based on Ubuntu. I had a NTFS drive which was somehow corrupted. This is how I fixed the issue:

Install ntfsprogs package:

Find the drive’s device path:

Unmount the drive if already mounted:

Run ntfsfix tool to fix common NTFS issues:

Now mount again and have fun:

That was simple, no? 😀

sda3….? Atleast mention that is the volume you’re working on 😉 That won’t be the case for everyone 🙂

How did you know that /dev/sda3 was the one I was working on? 😀

Other people will know the same way – using their common sense! 🙂
