When I plugged it into the USB port it gave a warning message, that the NTFS -3g driver was able to mount the NTFS partition but says, Dirty volume mount was forced by the "force" mount option. It is mounted read/write, but advice is only write to it in emergency situation. recommendation is boot windows and fix the filesystem first!!!!! It's going to be a while before I can get a system built to run winxp, is there a Linux option I can run on this old computer to fix the drive?
You can try ntfsck or ntfsfix from ntfs-3g (formerly ntfsprogs). Use with caution.
