Hey guys.

 

I'm having some trouble with an external hard drive. Got accidentally disconnected while writing and some files got corrupted, but on top of that it seems to have messed up the index because a lot of other files in one folder are missing yet the space is still taken.

I have Tuxera's ntfs driver and while it has an utility for checking errors it doesn't seem to do anything. I think maybe plugging it in a Windows PC and running chkdsk would do the trick but I don't have any available now and would prefer to fix it myself before I start bothering friends :D

 

Do you guys know of any way or 3rd party program that can scan and repair rtfs drives under OS X? OS version is latest.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I can already write to the drive. I think those drivers should work the same.

 

I need to run some sort of OS X chkdsk alternative, but can't seem to find one (except the one included with the driver which didn't do anything).

Paragon NTFS allows you to use the built in Disk checking of OS X for NTFS drives.

 

You could install the trial version and give it a go?

    • Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants. This will allow affected users to experience AI-powered chat experience in Microsoft 365 apps, while meeting US government cloud requirements. Admins will also get the tools they need to manage access, security, and compliance at scale. Since June, Microsoft has also been rolling out Web Chat access for Copilot users since early June and that’s expected to be completed by the end of the month. The rollout announced today will also bring Copilot Chat to Microsoft 365 Copilot app (web), Outlook (web and desktop), and Microsoft Teams (web and desktop). The Redmond giant said that these features are included at no additional cost with eligible Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses (F1, F3, G3, and G5). It also pointed out that this rollout doesn’t include AI Agent functionality; that rollout will be announced in the future. If you have used artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, you’ll have probably noticed that it scours the web for up-to-date information. By default, this “web grounding” is off in GCC with Copilot Chat. If administrators want to allow it, they can explicitly enable the “Allow web search in Copilot” Cloud Policy - the exception is if the policy was already enabled in your environment, in that case your existing configuration will be followed. Microsoft says admins will also have granular controls over the AI in Microsoft 365 Copilot app, Outlook, Teams, and Web. If you’re an administrator of a GCC environment, you can check out the How to prepare section of the announcement to learn about reviewing your admin settings, educating users about how to use the AI, and monitoring the rollout. The usage of AI in government holds significant potential as shown by a recent study by the UK government. It found that AI helped to save civil servants 2 weeks, per person, per year. This time can be spent by them doing other productive activities, making government more efficient overall. With Microsoft's rollout of Copilot Chat to GCC, US government workers can be more efficient too.
    • Apple faces backlash for promoting F1 movie via Wallet app notification

      By JeanoLeBlanco · Posted

      I think that if the ad came from the AppleTV+ app, people wouldn't have been this bothered. But from the wallet app, i understand why this is frustrating. It's not anything new from Google and Microsoft, so maybe the Wallet App said to themselves, let's try it to test the water from iPhone users. Well, i hope they won't do it again. I went to see the movie yesterday in theater (in France), i hope there is a way to tell the Apple TV app to stop showing me ads for this movie now. I won't be going to see it again (maybe i'll rewatch it in a few months / years, it was nice).

      So, paid PowerToys Run? I'm sure it has more stuff, but still, Run is perfectly good for me. Great app, though.
