Well, that's the nature of the beast, and what backups are for.
Was your fsck successful? Can you now read the files on the disk?
the fsck are successful, not sure every files inside are readable or
corrupt but the most files I accessed look fine.
If so, I would work on getting them backed up, but not necessarily
trusting their contents. Older files may need checking against
previously backed-up versions. Newer one may need their contents
checking for corruption.
Then ask yourself why you're using NTFS on this disk, and whether
it might be better to adopt a different filesystem. For myself,
I only use NTFS readonly, for reading disks written on Windows.
This partition actually created on windows 8. That time I only use
windows and later on, I do dual boot but I keep the NTFS since I know
Linux can access NTFS but windows not so I can reboot later to windows
if I need to use proprietary tools such vs studio, illustrator, movie
editor.
Later on, I just use Linux and lazy to change this partition to ext4
because I think, If I need the data inside, I can just took it out from
this machine and plug, read it on windows machine.
