Thread: fsck.ntfs not found when trying to repair Windows 2000 Pro

    I had this trouble also and here is how I fixed it.

    Boot windows in safe mode (by pressing F8 when prompted) and see if it asks you if you want to skip loading dm346bus.sys (I think that's it). This is a problem caused by the program daemon tools.

    I used the captive-NTFS driver to delete that file, however whether I chose to load it or not, and even after I deleted it, Windows still gave me an inaccessible boot device Blue Screen O' Death.

    So I booted my windows CD, acted like I was going to reinstall, but at the last minute chose to Repair the existing install. This peforms a repair/upgrade installation of Windows.

    It didn't even break my Lilo bootloader. All of my windows drivers and programs were intact aftwards.

    i had the same problem. And i managed to fix it!

    This is what i did:
    I booted with my windows 2000 cd. Started rescue console.
    * I repaired the harddisk with chkdsk /p
    * typed 'fixboot'

    Then booted windows normally. It works fine with me.

    Thx,
    Fredrik aka badeball

    windows pe

    good solution if your running windows is to keep a copy of windows pe on hand (version of xp that runs off cd like knoppix)

    there are some precompiled ones that are preaty fancy and look like a full blown xp install running off cdrom

    Well, it was already said you can boot Windows into Recovery Console, then you have to log in to your Windows share (if you can...) and do chkdsk c: /p , chkdsk d: /p and so on. Equally you can run chkdsk /f from a bootable BartPE CD (i.e. a Windows which starts from the CD).

    Another options are using some boot CD with Partition Magic (or a similar program) and check the partition for errors and try to repair them (does not always work).

    Yet another option is having a boot CD with NTFS Pro, you boot from it, and type ntfschk /a /f (or ask for a NTFS Check in the book menu, aka chkdsk check).

    In Knoppix, there is something to be done:

    Update ntfsprogs (optional) with:

    $ su
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get -t unstable install ntfsprogs

    run a file system check with:

    # ntfsresize -fi /dev/hda1

    or

    # ntfsresize -fi /dev/sda5

    if that does not work, do:

    # ntfsfix /dev/hda1

    or

    # ntfsfix /dev/sda5

    or something like that (hda1 is 1st partition on IDE hard disk, sda5 is first logical, thus not primary, partition on a SATA hard disk).

    Don't do a ntfsfix if you only have Vista, for it is going to freeze. If you have Vista and another NTFS-capable Windows, boot that Windows after performing ntfsfix.

    There is a huge difference between recovery console and windows pe

    recovery console has a limited amount of tools available to the user and means you will be loading some aspects of the system into memory and with some spyware "an example would be a memory resident one that attatches itself partialy in the mbr--just got rid of one like that last week for a client) by using windows pe you eliminate that problem also you arnt limited in tools
    you can run antivirus software and antispyware software in a windows pe enviroment

    I simply recomend pe for people that use windows because the enviroment is more familliar
    Its true resources like the current version of knoppix are more robust in what they can do but will be unfamilliiar and confusing to some folks

    The spyware I mentioned above was removed by wipeing the mbr and then useing gpart under knoppix to restore the partition table and add a clean mbr
    So I advocate knoppix use but agian it may be to confusing or overwhelming for folks new to the linux envirioment

    As much as I love Knoppix, it's just recently become viable as a true Windows repair platform. By far, WinPE is a better starting point when it comes to fixing spyware and viruses. I've heard of a couple Linux-based AV pgms, but I wouldn't trust any non-native anti-spyware pgm to get down-n-dirty w/ the Registry, to truly fix spyware. Maybe when FUSE gets a little more mature and proven writing NTFS partitions, but not for the moment. Having said all of that, my repair DVD has BartPE+Slax (2 diff eds)+Knoppix.+CHNTPW. In fact, I plan to add the new DSL (boots the fastest) to the mix.

    Regarding WinPE (which is just the generic name for the Windows live CD env), the best way to take the plunge is UBCD4WIN which simply packages BartPE to get up-and-running much more quickly than BartPE alone. And WinPE/BartPE beats the Recovery Console by the same margin that Linux beats Windows.....
