I just recovered from an issue here: 22.04 not mounting NTFS flash drive (not "Fast Boot" issue)
Many of the answers/comments on this website related to the issue I experienced, had to some degree suggested use of Windows. WTF?
Can some Linux guru please show how to:
- use Linux to fix NTFS file system errors? The windows equivalent of how I solved my issue in the answer I provided.
- Show how to tease out the symptoms that would lead you to fixing the NTFS file system? I mean, when would you know that the solution you just provided in first bullet is appropriate.
I love Linux, and it hurts to see this issue rely on Windows to fix a Linux "challenge".
Thanks.
