    Any wanabi or anyone else has any easy idea to sort this out ?

    Opening up the external HD casing and trying to interface HD directly to comp, thereby bypassing the USB connection, is not a solution I want to do at this moment :eek:

    Thanks

    sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g


    • ntfsfix - Forces Windows to check NTFS at boot time
    • ntfsresize - Resize an NTFS volume
    • ntfsundelete - Find files that have been deleted and recover them
    • ntfsdefrag - Defragment files, directories and the MFT
    • ntfsck - Perform consistency checks on a volume
