Fix for: fsck an ntfs drive in Linux

Low Risk

Yes. This was handled by on some releases. If the partition is not listed in , then you will likely need to tell it the partition type. I've used this from a Linux CD to recover a partition Windows wouldn't boot from. Based on the comments below, the actual fixing is done by the program. It should be available, even if there is no program to run a on an NTFS file system.
