I have tried ntfsfix. It resets the ntfs journal and when the drive is booted into MSWindows it'll run a chkdsk - make sure you do not interrupt this! In your friend's case you can force a chkdsk by right-clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer/Properties/Tools/Error-checking. Other than that I think we're into a file recovery mode involving tools like photorec and dd_rescue. HTH. -- Regards, Mick
