[SOLVED]Failed to mount drive

[slate dagger]

I cant access a drive that i had created long ago in windows and i get this error

[boreal reef]

I got that myself a few times. I was able to fix it by booting into Windows and running chkdsk on the drive. If I remember right the NTFS signature was missing or something like that.

i see. ill try it

[slate dagger]

i tried it and yeah it worked but i couldnt do it for c drive as windows basically cant be running if i want to chkdsk c drive

i prolly have to do advanced reboot and from it's cmd prompt, do chkdsk there but im too lazy and i prolly dont need anything from c drive atm

[slate dagger]

got it working for my f drive tho so

No problem

For the C drive if you do a scan in offline mode you can tell it to do a scan on the next boot.

Whenever you boot into windows next it should scan and fix your C drive before booting into it
