I’m well aware of the options. The drive isn’t the problem. This thread was about usability and I did happen to need a filesytem check.

I’m not a fan of Microsoft biz practices but if you think Linux has nothing to learn from windows (especially on the desktop) you are mistaken.

Basically the optimal tool for offline maintenance is a live disk which will actually work if the drive is screwed up.

Basically you were holding it wrong.
