What is the Linux equivalent for the Windows chkdsk command?

Solution 1:

The linux command to check disks is fsck. See here for a rather complete reference list on what you need. My guess you will have to look for the ntfs section.

You also have to figure out which drive is which, see this post, basically fsck -l. You will feed the right drive name/number to the fsck utility.

If you have a working windows machine to install from, see this help entry.

Good luck, let us know how you fare!
