====== Recovery::lost disk ======
sometimes especially external disks get "lost" using windows. The Windows Disk Tools mostly are not able to recover such a disk and suggest to format it as it isn't formatet. but in many cases the only fault is a corrupt superblock or an inconsistent FAT.

So an approach for recovering -- besides professional tools like //kroll ontrack// -- is to use the linux tools for NTFS:

  * Install //ntfs-3g// with ''sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g''. 
  * Then run the ntfsfix command on your NTFS partition.
  * For example:

  ntfsfix /dev/hda6
