How To Fix: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT

The Error message show up when trying to mount my ntfs hdd:

"Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/fuzzy27/My Book: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/fuzzy27/My Book"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output errorNTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's aSoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windowsthen reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is veryimportant! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activateit and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g./dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentationfor more details."

On error message, you may see that it recommend us to run chkdsk on windows since I use Linux (Debian). So how to fix that error in linux.

Here we go:

1. Install ntfs-3g
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

2. Then run command bellow to fix it
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1

3. You may unplug the disk then plug in again.

4. Mount it.


Good luck.
