    Hello. I am trying to clone a disk and am getting the following error: "NTFS Volume '/dev/sda2' is scheduled for a check or it was shutdown uncleanly. Please boot Windows or fix it by fsck." I cannot boot Windows because the source disk is corrupt. Could you please give me simple instructions on how to run fsck?

    Thank you

    Try to run the following command in Clonezilla live command:
    sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda2
    Then clone it again.
    Please let us know the results.
    Thanks.

    Steven.

    Hello Steven. Thank you for your prompt response. I ran the command you suggested and it told me that D was an invalid option. I ran it without the option D and it said a partition had been repaired, so I tried to clone again and got the same error. Then I ran your command again, and now it is telling me permission denied, failed, volume is corrupt. Please run CHKDSK. Every time I run the NTFSFIX command, I get a different result, but none of them causes the clone to run successfully. Can you please offer any additional help? Thank you, rookieUSA

    Dear Steven, here is some additional information: a Clonezilla tutorial I read showed a page that asks you to choose an option to run fsck during the cloning process. I have not seen this page (attached) when I was trying to clone.

    Did you solve the issue there? If not,
    "it is telling me permission denied, failed, volume is corrupt. Please run CHKDSK. Every time I run the NTFSFIX command, I get a different result, but none of them causes the clone to run successfully." -> Could you take photos about them then post it? It's easier to understand the exact info.
    Thanks.

    Steven.

    Old thread but this worked.
    THX

    I tried chkdsk but clonezilla still refuded to work.
    so
    sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda1
    sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda2
    sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda3

    for every partition and FINALLY it works
