+# Fix NTFS Mounts in linux
+
+`BASH` script that fixes NTFS mounts that have become `READ-ONLY` on Linux.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+The script uses `ntfs-3g` and `ntfsfix`.
+
+## Usage
+```
+Usage: fix-ntfs.sh <mount_source> <mount_target>
+
+Options:
+  <mount_source>  The device to fix, e.g. /dev/sda1
+  <mount_target>   The directory to mount to, e.g. /mnt/my_drive
+```
+
+## Overview
+
+The script will unmount, fix and remount the drive in `READ-WRITE` mode. If there are running processes that will prevent the drive from unmounting, the script will offer to kill them.
