Just for the record, I tried this and this was the result:

I was having issues mounting the drive, but when I was finally
able to run ntfsfix, it reported nothing unusual, and then checking my
drive (w/ most my music )several of the folders that started w/ C that
were previously missing, reappeared and were playable so it
seems to have fixed the issue, but I may still have a bad drive so we will see.
