How to bud ntfs?
There is a problem. The server or computer does not boot due to the fact that the file system is trite. I’m not considering the case when the file system has broken into a “mess”, that data will have to be extracted from it only by sector-by-sector reading, but the usual incorrect unmounting of a busy FS with open descriptors, when the problem is solved by a banal chkdsk, booted from external media. The only problem is that it can be difficult or almost impossible to boot. For example, yesterday I had to restore a dense server, which has been waiting for a dump for a long time, on which Windows 2000 Server is still standing and which was released in some bearded year. That is, it only has a CD-ROM drive, it does not know how to boot via USB, and it broke like this, that light bootable Live-CDs based on Windows XP during the boot process on it fall into a BSOD with an ntfs.sys error. It's still complicated by the fact that the disk array is there on the LSI MegaRaid, for which it is not too easy to find drivers (but I found them later in the driver pack). I solved the problem by pushing the disk with the deployed Win7 image on the IDE hard drive and running chkdsk on the system partition, but none of the other methods worked! And I tried:
1) Boot from USB - this dinosaur does not have a USB boot at all;
2) Boot from CD with Parted Magick - he didn't want to fix ntfs errors;
3) Boot from the Windows 2000 Professional disk - it was not possible to find drivers to see the system disk, I tried a bunch of divkets with drivers;
4) Boot from the Windows XP disk - did not pick up drivers for it;
5) Boot from Live CD based on Windows XP - all crashed with ntfs.sys error;
6) Boot from the Windows 7 installation disk - slipped firewood, found the system and data disks, but the installer only offered to kill partitions, the check was not offered "the file system is not compatible";
7) Boot from the Windows 2008 Server R2 installation disk - the processor does not support x86_64 instructions.
In short, I would like to find some kind of distro or software package that would be able to fix the correctness of file systems well, support a wide range of hardware and could be loaded universally, being copied to a flash drive, CD, DVD or hard drive. Do you know this one?

As an option - put another disk next to it, roll the same Vyn2k onto it and check from it.
I think we need to get rid of this poor iron. Or transfer to Linux, there are no such rough dead ends with the lack of firewood out of the box, as in Windows. At least when it comes to storage.
