checkdisk no longer works on a P2Ved NT 4

I had to do a manual P2V of a NT4 machine as Converter did not work.
I used a helper NT4 VM to do the patching and Acronis to do the imaging.

After everything was done I can no longer use checkdisk inside the NT4 - it says the NTFS is newer than this version supports ...

Any ideas how to get chkdsk working again ?

Sysinternals used to offer a tool called NTFSCHK.  You can try that as well. Although it's not offered on the Sysinternals website you can try the alternative link below
