Need To FSCK A NTFS Drive On Kodi Box

michale32086 · August 26, 2020 at 10:59 AM

I was in the process of copying over about 4 TB of TV show files from a LE Drive to an NTFS Portable HD.. My grandson noticed the the shiny button on the power strip and shut down my KODI box in mid transfer..

Now when I boot up the box and look at the HD, there are no TV files on it.. I have tried to plug the HD into my windows box and run CHKDSK, but it doesn't bring back the files..

I am fairly certain the files ARE there, just need to fix the blocks..

How do I do a e2fsck or fsck on a NTFS drive inside the LE box???

Any assistance would be much appreciated...

I think repairing using a Windows box is better/easier in this case, so have you tried a file recovery program, such as Recuva?

BTW, files disappearing from a drive that is written to is one thing, but no more files on the source drive is stranger to me.

I was just thinking along those same lines myself.. Trying to recall some Partition Magic-esque programs.. I'll give Recuva a shot.. Thanx

File scavenger. Free version shows what can be potentially recovered.

Recuva might be cheaper.
