Pretty much only chkdsk can reliably repair NTFS.
I confirm this. I plugged the drive into a Windows 8 computer, let its
GUI
frontend to chkdsk find and fix errors as it pleased, and when
re-plugged
the drive into my fedora box, everything went fine.
Answering the other subscriber who recommends using networked instead of
USB, port-powered drives like this one: I agree with you, but there are
cases where they simply are not an option, I guess. For me, this is one
of them: this disk is shared with relatives without broadband, only
feasible
option to exchange/keep in sync when we meet/ huge collections like
these is usb port powered drives.
