Some days ago I really thought I lost everything from my NTFS partition.

I removed all third party software and using just Maverick "native" NTFS support, when I started the iMac I saw the "standard" icon for the partition.

At first try Windows 7 told me it was a RAW partition but after restarting the PC with the USB drive attached at boot it started a chkdsk and repaired some indexes...and everything is ok.


We will always need a PC to perform a chkdsk?

I was not talking about a bootable partition, it's just a NTFS partition on an external USB disk.

The first try was to connect the USB disk to a Windows 7 PC, Windows installed drivers for the USB box and mounted the partition as RAW.

Tried to reboot the PC with USB connected and Windows said that the partiton needed a chkdsk and everything went fine.


I was just wondering if, native or third party, we will evr have a "chkdsk" to repair such problems.
