+.SH NAME
+ntfsfix \- tool for fixing NTFS partitions altered by the Linux kernel NTFS driver.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ntfsfix
+.I device
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B ntfsfix
+command.
+.PP
+.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
+.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
+.\" respectively.
+\fBntfsfix\fP is a program that fixes NTFS partitions altered in any
+manner with the Linux NTFS driver. \fBntfsfix\fP is \fBNOT\fP a Linux
+version of chkdsk. It only tries to leave the NTFS partition in a
+not-so-inconsistent state after the NTFS driver has written to it.
+.sp
+\fBntfsfix\fP appeared because MS chkdsk is well known for its
+stupidity when fixing altered partitions. Because the main problems
+are journal files, \fBntfsfix\fP aims to fix those issues.
+.sp
+Running ntfsfix after mounting NTFS partitions read-write is recommended
+for reducing the chance of severe data loss when NT/W2K tries to remount
+the affected partition(s).
+.sp
+In order to use \fBntfsfix\fP you must unmount the NTFS partition, and run
+ntfsfix device, where device is the NTFS partition. After this, you can
+safely reboot into NT/W2K. Please note that \fBntfsfix\fP is not a
+chkdsk-like tool, and so is not guaranteed that it could fix all the
+alterations provoked by the NTFS driver.
