I have a Toshiba 500 gig drive plugged into a USB port.  ntfs-config shows it as available -- check mark to the left of the drive under Advanced Options.  But when I try to open the drive in file manager or in Deepin Movie (or in vlc, for that matter), I get the following error message:

Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb1: Command-line `mount "/media/TOSHIBA_EXT"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.


Any wisdom on how to fix this?  Many thanks, as always.

Did you try to use ntfsfix. In your example just type in terminal ;
  1. sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
Copy the Code
