+**TIL: How to NTFS Drive on NixOS**
+
+Recently, I was trying to open an NTFS drive on my NixOS machine; however, the drive was corrupted. So I did the 
+following to fix the drive.
+
+```bash
+nix-shell -p ntfs3g
+ntfsfix /dev/sda1
+```
+
+Where `/dev/sda1` is the broken drive. This was enough for me to be able to mount the drive and access the files on it.
+I didn't need to fix it on a Window machine.
