[aklug] Re: Repairing an NTFS volume in Linux

The whole volume is toast and not NTFS. The NTFS utilities wont work. I used
a utility called testdisk. It made my partition bootable but grub can't
connect to it and some Linux based utilities now say it is not formatted at
all. I guess I should give a warning for Fedora users to watch out when
shrinking their NTFS volumes with Fedora 14 as it is a bug.
I am about to reinstall Windows unless someone has any other suggestions.

Also I was under the impression that a Vm from virtual box can not read the
host's hard drive. Am I wrong about this? I can not even mount it.
