Deleted partition linux
Posted: 10 Aug 2012, 03:25
Hello,
Just before transferring my 975gb of music back to my backup drive after formatting it for a linux filesystem I somehow managed to delete the partition on the only drive containing my music rather than sending it back to the backup. When I formatted the drive the music was on, I selected "Do not partition" and then partitioned it as EXT4, then removed the 5% reserved space for sudo. This is my first time doing anything like this so I have no idea where to go from here. I chose to scan the drive as and intel drive since I read somewhere that Testdisk cannot restore anything from a drive scanned as "Not partitioned"...but here are the results of the quick scan:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disk /dev/sdb - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 121602 255 63
The harddisk (1000 GB / 931 GiB) seems too small! (< 125
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partitions can't be recovered:
Partition Start End Size in
XFS 4 20894 60 10 3697236857 92 15 22345959598555136 [M-0 ^GR[rIM-6M-e-]

[ Continue ]

Any ideas/solutions?
