Re: Exfat recovery... please help!

Anyone able to offer up any help on this?

Is this considered partition recovery or would I have more luck with some assistance in filesystem repair forum?

Re: Wrote the partition table thinking I'd fix it...

Any ideas on this please?

Sorry to bring up this old post but I've still got this drive sitting in my drawer and hoping for it to be recovered.

Is there any other ways of recovering this data?

Re: Wrote the partition table thinking I'd fix it...

Sorry, any ideas on this - have I crashed my raid?

Will I be able to recover? The files were visible before I wrote my partition table :(

Re: Wrote the partition table thinking I'd fix it...

So you know... this is what originally happened:

RAID 8TB (2x4TB striped raid) - EXFAT - showing up as RAW in windows / not showing partition in mac (only device)

Testdisk detects EFI GPT partition

Analysed - showed correct partition name (Chimp)
List files - showed all my files
Backup - saved ...

Re: Wrote the partition table thinking I'd fix it...

Another thing you might want to know... when a mac formats an exfat drive it says this in windows:

Attempting to list files on this partition does this:
