By recover you mean you can use it again as normal, not recover the
files, right? Try
dd count=1 bs=512 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb

I backup my files to it. Then I reformat my ubuntu workstation. After
the newly installed workstation boots up, I could no longer mount the

I did a research and they something about header but looks like the
header is intact.
