I need to repair a drive with chkdsk and don’t have access to windows

edit: hopefully, I only have to do it once. I will search for someone with a real windows machine. It’s not worth the trouble =(

    I don’t think so, but you should be able to create an install usb, same as for linux, boot into that, and access recovery tools. From there, you can definitely run chkdsk, done it before though I don’t recall every step.

      For those who don’t know, shift+F10 to bring up a command prompt when using a windows install image. Can do it when it starts asking you for stuff. I know the chkdsk tools and manage-bde (the bitlocker cli) are avaliable there at least.
