Since the drive is formatted in NTFS, if you have access to a Windows system (XP or higher), you should probably try to access the drive in Windows and then run a scandisk/chkdsk on it.

Since you can get read only access copy as much stuff as you can while within Puppy. I gather you aren't backed up.
Make sure you have media as large as what the space is taken up on the offending drive to copy to, suggest a usb2 hard drive for fastest transfer or through a fast ethernet connection to a place on your LAN (if available).
Good Luck!

Hi sermed,
You can also try ntfsfix command at the terminal:
This won't fix all errors in a partition necessarily, but it is worth a try.
Hope this helps,
Monsie
You can also try ntfsfix command at the terminal:
Code: Select all
~# ntfsfix -help
ntfsfix v2.0.0 (libntfs 10:0:0)
Usage: ntfsfix [options] device
Attempt to fix an NTFS partition.
-h, --help Display this help
-V, --version Display version information
For example: ntfsfix /dev/sda6
Hope this helps,
Monsie
