NAME
       ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS


SYNOPSIS
       ntfsfix [options] device


DESCRIPTION
       ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems.  ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk.  It
       only  repairs  some  fundamental NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS
       consistency check for the first boot into Windows.

       You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some  other  way  and  it
       cannot be mounted.


OPTIONS
       Below  is  a  summary  of  all  the options that ntfsfix accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent
       names.  The short name is preceded by - and the long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter  options,
       that  don't  take  an  argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.  -fv is equivalent to -f -v.
       Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -b, --clear-bad-sectors
              Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a  new
              disk.

       -d, --clear-dirty
              Clear  the volume dirty flag if the volume can be fixed and mounted.  If the option is not present
              or the volume cannot be fixed, the dirty volume flag is set to request a volume checking  at  next
              mount.

       -h, --help
              Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -n, --no-action
              Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.

       -V, --version
              Show the version number, copyright and license
