Cannot mount NTFS volume; fixntfs doesn't resolve the problem

Question

I am trying to mount a USB harddrive with NTFS. Ubuntu displays this eror message:

sudo fixntfs didn't resolve the problem.

linuxcomprrrr@rr-a-computer:/home/rrrr# sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdd1

Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.

How can I fix the volume from Ubuntu?

Don't think you can. You have to use Windows to fix the filesystem, and in case of a hardware fault, you need to replace the device. — mikewhatever, Nov 26 '17 at 02:28
Linux user still needs Windows to fix disks? This is unfortunate :( — Victor Forest, Nov 26 '17 at 02:34
Not sure what did you expect. There is no magic linux command that can fix all filesystem errors and all hardware faults. — mikewhatever, Nov 26 '17 at 03:55
@Victor Forest Windows still doesn't support ext4 at all. Shame. — jdwolf, Nov 26 '17 at 04:25
@mikewhatever My point is that microsoft does not support that. — jdwolf, Nov 26 '17 at 04:36

ntfsfix can only do basic NTFS repair tasks. It's main functionality is marking the file system dirty so that Windows will automatically scan it.
