How can I recover my partition #119

Closed Chaython closed 2 years ago

Chaython commented 2 years ago

In windows the partition analysis would get stuck at 56% Using other file recovery software it would also get stuck at 56% but just scanning files it would see partition 5 (ntfs) is with all data fully intact. If I scan in Linux the test doesn't get stuck but instead of ntfs it is all Mac hfs/unknown/Mac hfs. So obviously windows just sees the Mac hfs as a combined ntfs... How can I properly use the recover the right partitions to have my ntfs partition back? IMG_20220406_160925689 What happened to my data: I was formatting a partition (fat32) for yumi multiboot. I had previously a partition with a working yumi legacy but I wanted to delete the partition and switch to modern yumi. Anyways it formatted the whole drive not the partition...

It did actually find the partition at 100% But the partition had a mismatch geometry from what test disk expected So I rewrote the boot sector But it still didn't mount in Linux what do I do

Windows check disk made the partition openable. Most files are slightly corrupted.
