    Is deleting and recreating the NTFS partition with mkfs.ntfs an option? -- Alsom Rudolph has a good point about reliability. A HDD which shows bad sectors is a very bad sign. Make sure that you have backups.

    I read the question as saying that the hard disk with bad sectors is no longer in use, but damage from the bad sectors persists on the NTFS volume that's been copied to the SSD. If this reading is incorrect, then I definitely agree with Hennes. A disk with bad sectors is like a slice of bread with mold; the problem will only get worse with time.

  • Update: I managed to boot into Windows and run chkdsk. My partition now works.
