i find some people saying to use dd_rescue, but i don't if dd_rescue works
with NTFS partition.
Does anyone know?

The exact same thing happened to me. I was never able to start
windows up again. If you google your problem, you'll see that this same
incident happened to many others. I ended up losing everything (I
backed up my important files prior). If you don't find the answer, just
suck it up, reinstall windows, THEN install Debian. I had a 50/50
Windows/Debian installation for about 2 weeks before I decided to take
the plunge and just use my entire hard drive for Debian. I hesitated
doing this because of Quicken, but, then I discovered GnuCash. Get rid
of partition magic (unless you figure it out and it works for you).
