I have an NTFS drive to save space and have Windows and Linux share data. Well one day, Linux is having trouble mounting it, even though Windows is hibernated but Fast Startup is turned off. So I run ntfsfix and it does it's thing and everything is fine. Then Windows is having issues so I run chkdsk and it takes a while, fixing around 8,000 files. I had a feeling something was wrong. Every file, when trying to open it, says it's corrupted, but the directories are correct and filenames! Linux on the other hand has input output errors and can only see some files. I have no backups, as I am still in the process of buying an external hard drive to backup to. How can I fix this and get my data back.EDIT: Running CHKDSK again says it's okay and NTFSFix in read only mode says everything is okay. I have tried Recuva and Active Recovery Software with no luck.EDIT: I used Photorec and I am working on restoring the directory structure and sorting out the fragments
