NTFS hard drive is read only

$

I have a NTFS drive attached via SATA cable to my Ubuntu server running version 22.04. It's a Western Digital Red hard drive.

I auto mounted it via fstab:

UUID=C0864343244110   /home/media/backupPictures   ntfs  defaults  0   2

I tried below:

UUID=C0864343244110   /home/media/backupPictures   ntfs  rw  0   2

And also tried setting the permission via:

sudo chmod +rwx backupPicturessudo chmod 777 backupPictures

And I get this error all the time:

chmod: changing permissions of 'backupPictures/': Read-only file system

I am using Samba file share and double checked the file share settings for the folder and it's set as below:

[Pictures backup]    comment = Pictures backup    path = /home/media/backupPictures    read only = no    writable = yes    browsable = yes

And clicked restart on smb as well as rebooting the entire system. I cannot copy files into this location but I can see files already stored there.

I then tried to install ntfsfix but that package doesn't exist anymore.

 sudo apt-get install ntfsfixReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... DoneE: Unable to locate package ntfsfix

Is there anything else I can do? Is there a ntfsfix alternative?

Apparently ntfsfix should work via:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdxX # where x is HDD and X is drive number, in my case it was /dev/sda1

But this package no longer exists.

This is the Linux Ubuntu Server I am using:

Distributor ID: UbuntuDescription:    Ubuntu 22.04 LTSRelease:        22.04Codename:       jammy
