Hi everybody I have searched the forum for an answer to my problem but can't find one so here goes. I have a 1T WD external drive I us as a repository for my media. It is formatted as HPFS/NTFS I was clearing some stuff off my Windows 10 machine (as the disk was near capacity) onto this drive When I switched to my Linux Mint machine a number of folders had ‘disappeared’ and the ones that hadn’t contained a lot of corrupted files. Running Error Checking on the Windows machine gets to about 95% and then reports that it could not complete. I had read that I should run chkdsk on the Windows machine. Whilst running it reported that a lot of corrupt files were being deleted and ended in an error message. I was then advised to run fsck on the linux machine (with disk unmounted) but any use of fsck on this disk just returns to command prompt I was then advised to use ntfsprogs, but got the 'Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package' message Properties in Linux show: 3,270 items, totaling 27.8 GB (some contents unreadable) but only 60 Gig free space (from 1T), so I am assuming that the files are there somewhere. Any help please, and could you make it ‘step by step’ as I am still not that familiar with Mint commands and structures Many thanks in advance Mike ...
