Hi,
I have a NTFS flashdrive. When I plug it into Fedora, it reads and writes normally. However, when plugged into M$ Windows, only an icon and a not-so-informative ``Removable media'' is shown.
When I try to reformat it with Windows Disk Management, another not-so-informative error ``Windows cannot format the given drive'' is shown.
I then filled it with zeroes with a Chinese partition management program (AoMei, if that is useful) and recreated NTFS on it. It worked on Windows. However, after a plug into Fedora it was ruined again: Fedora recognized it, but Windows did not.
Results of `sudo fsck /dev/sdc1':
------------------------------------- fsck from util-linux 2.37.4 Unsupported: replay_log() Unsupported: check_volume() Checking 256 MFT records. Unsupported cases found. ntfsck was unable to run properly. -------------------------------------
So I ran `ntfsfix` on it and the following output was produced:
-------------------------------------------------------- Mounting volume... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. Checking the alternate boot sector... OK NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/sdc1 was processed successfully. --------------------------------------------------------
A rerun of fsck produced identical output.
*Note that the drive was usable on Fedora throughout the process.*
Any idea what's behind this? ------ From LilyWhite with love
