Yeah under vista and windows 7, you have to run as admin to get the full functionality from the services.

Then go into start menu, all programs, accessories then scroll down till you find command prompt. Right click on the command prompt option, and then from the menu, select run as administrator. Then try running the command chkdsk /f on your problem drive. If it's c drive, you may have to say yes to It being done after the machine re starts.

That's the first step I did but I'll try it again. Oh and I ran chkdsk throught the windows property dialogue as well. No issues I think. On Aug 12, 2010, at 3:54 AM, Erik Heil wrote: Hi. First of all, I'm going to assume that you don't have a RAID setup. If you did, you'd likely know about it. So, just ignore those errors. To fix this error, reboot into Windows, enter cmd.exe and when you get to the prompt, type "chkdsk /F" and the drive letter Windows assigns to it. Windows will most likely complain about inconsistent entries in the MFT (similar to old FAT filesystems on floppy disks or other media.) Go ahead and have Windows fix those errors. When the process is complete, try mounting the filesystem again. You shouldn't get any errors at this point. Note that Windows is a bit conservative about displaying errors--in this case ntfs 3G did you a favor. While not serious, there is a potential for these errors to become much more serious over time. --Erik On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 5:50 AM, Sarah Alawami <marri...@gmail.com> wrote: I'm replying with the error message. it is the following I managed to reproduce when plugging in the drive. Now mind you this thing works very well, flawlessly in fact under windows. NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s5 at /Volumes/Untitled because the following problem occurred: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). Failed to mount '/dev/rdisk1s5': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. Ok what does this mean? And how can I fix it? On Aug 11, 2010, at 9:54 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > hello.
