I've got a sick hard drive with a corrupted NTFS partition. I can boot from Knoppix and read the contents, so all is not lost. I want to repair it, but I can't boot into safe mode, I can't boot into the recovery console, I can't boot to the Windows Ultimate Boot CD, and I can't even boot and do a repair installation. I tried Partition Magic 8.0 and it confirmed the problems with the file system, but didn't fix them (Symantec says to use CHKDSK ) All of them are relatively minor problems and all can be repaired by running CHKDSK.
There MUST be a way to boot from a floppy (or CD-based utility) and simply run
"chkdsk /f", but I can find no utility to do this. I've been working on this stupid thing for over 6 hours.
Please help...
