🎯 COMMON RECOVERY SCENARIOS ──────────────────────────────────────
1️⃣ Repair broken Linux system: mount_drive /dev/sda1 /mnt /set /mnt fixLinux /dev/sda1 q restart
2️⃣ Backup disk before repair: clone /dev/sda /backup.img mount_drive /dev/sda1 /mnt fixLinux /dev/sda1 restart
3️⃣ Repair Windows NTFS: mount_drive /dev/sda1 /mnt fixWin /dev/sda1 restart
4️⃣ Fix GRUB bootloader: grub-install /dev/sda restart
