This question made me wonder: "Can you run chkdsk using a Windows boot CD on a Linux NTFS partition?" Would it cause more problems, or fix them as in Windows?

I can't see why not, but I could not find a definitive answer.

There really is no such thing as a "Linux NTFS partition"; Linux does have some support for reading and writing NTFS filesystems, but in the end the Windows tools are considered definitive even for NTFS partitions being accessed under Linux.
