Alright, Knoppix finished downloading. I tried to follow the instructions on http://www.retosphere.de/tipsandtricks/ntfserror.php?menu_id=24& but I didn't see any shell, so instead I went to K Menu, System, Shells, then clicked on Bash and typed in su in the thing that popped up. It showed me my partitions, one was a Dell Utility, one was NTFS, and one was Free Space. I wrote down sda2, because that was the NTFS one, and continued along with the steps. Now, I exited the shell and opened up K Menu and so on again and clicked on Bash, typed su, then typed ntfsfix /dev/hda2, but then got very confused. A few errors came up:
Failed to determine whether /dev/hda2 is mounted: No such file or directory
Mounting volume... Error opening partition device: No such file or directory
Failed to startup volume: No such file or directory
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors... Error opening partition device: No such file or directory
FAILED
Failed to startup volume: No such file or directory
Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
But I was just confused on why he was telling me to type /dev/hda2 when I thought it was /media/sda2, it must be different on different people's computers. So I tried ntfsfix /media/sda2 and just got a bunch of errors again, but this time a little different:
Mounting volume... Error opening partition device: Is a directory
FAILED
Failed to startup volume: Is a directory
FAILED
Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
Can someone please explain to me what I should do next?
Edit: Okay, I just tried it with ntfsfix /dev/sda2, and a different error came up, but I think I'm on the right track:
Mounting volume... Error opening partition device: Device or resource busy
Failed to startup volume: Device or resource busy
FAILED
