Debian. Issue with the ntfs after reloading from windows
If you are experiencing issues with NTFS partitions after reloading from Windows on a Debian-based system, it is possible that the partition was not properly unmounted in Windows, leading to inconsistencies that Debian cannot handle. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
Boot into Windows:
Start your computer and boot into Windows.Properly Shut Down Windows:
Before switching back to Debian, make sure to properly shut down Windows. This action ensures that all pending changes are written to the disk and the NTFS partitions are correctly unmounted.Boot into Debian:
Restart your computer and boot into Debian.Check the NTFS Partitions:
After booting into Debian, open a terminal and use thentfsfix
command to check and fix the NTFS partitions. Thentfsfix
command is provided by thentfs-3g
package, which is usually installed by default on Debian-based systems.To check and fix the NTFS partitions, run the following command as the root user or using
sudo
:bashsudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXY
Replace
/dev/sdXY
with the actual device name of the NTFS partition you want to check and fix. For example, if your NTFS partition is/dev/sda1
, the command will be:bashsudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1
The
ntfsfix
command will try to fix common issues with the NTFS file system.Mount the NTFS Partitions:
After runningntfsfix
, try mounting the NTFS partitions again. If there are no major issues with the file system, the partitions should mount without any problems.Avoid Fast Startup in Windows:
To prevent such issues in the future, it's recommended to disable Fast Startup in Windows. Fast Startup can cause problems when switching between operating systems in a dual-boot setup. To disable Fast Startup in Windows, follow these steps:- Open the Control Panel and go to "Power Options."
- Click on "Choose what the power buttons do" on the left side.
- Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable."
- Under "Shutdown settings," uncheck the box next to "Turn on fast startup (recommended)."
- Click "Save changes" to apply the settings.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with NTFS partitions after reloading from Windows on your Debian system. Remember to always properly shut down Windows before switching to another operating system in a dual-boot configuration.
