Re: I stupidly formatted my NTFS partition to FAT
Thanks for your reply.
I ran Testdisk again and selected the Advanced option. Unfortunately I do not get the option RepairMFT. Is this the end of my options for recovery of the formatted partition? I already tried three different Recovery tools (Windows-based) and they were no use.

I have a 1 TB disk which was partitioned into two 500 GB NTFS partitions and I have been happily using this structure for a couple of years. I accidentally formatted one of the partitions to a FAT partition (it was about 3 a.m. and I thought I was formatting an external hard drive); in fact, I may ...
