No filesystem on USB NTFS drive that worked perfectly fine
I disconnected a 1TB USB seagate drive from my ReadyNAS Duo v1. The drive was working totally fine and formatted as NTFS. I keep all of my movies and video files on it. I connected the drive directly ...
Problem solved! I plugged the drive into a Ubuntu system and it told me there was a problem with the file system and it suggested that I run chkdsk /f on a windows machine. I did that and viola, I'm back in business and all of my files are there. The ReadyNAS recognized the drive after I ran chkdsk and I'm backing it up right now in case it's on the edge of failing. I should have thought of chkdsk before, but I'm glad I got it.
