There was a power outage at my place while I was on my computer.
After I restarted my computer, a drive of mine, which is NTFS, would not mount.
I would get this error when trying to access it:
error mounting /dev/sda1, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
Can anyone help me try to recover my drive?
Some of the things I tried were:
sudo blkid /dev/sda1
Response:
BLOCK_SIZE=“512” UUID=“[idhere]” TYPE=“ntfs” PARTUUID=“[partuiid here]”
sudo fsck /dev/sda1
Response:
fsck from util-linux 2.40.2
I do have ntfs-3g installed and I re-installed it.
I used gparted to see if I could repair it.
Response:

NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired.
I noticed the part where is says run chkdsk /f on Windows. But, I’m not on Windows. So, what can I do?
I do have a Windows computer. But, I would find that painfully tedious to move my drive to that computer. If possible, I’d like to be able to resolve it on my Manjaro installation computer.
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
