Accident - wrote image file to HD instead of SDCard
Posted: 25 Aug 2012, 20:33
Hi
I was in the process of writing an image of the Xbian OS for the Raspberry Pi computer to a SD card, using Win32DiskImager, when I accidentally selected one of my storage hard drives instead.
The drive total is 2TB.
The drive used to consist of a single 2TB partition.
The image that was partially (i aborted it after some seconds) written to it consisted of 3 partitions (FAT16, ext3 and a linux swap partition) of around 1,5GB in total.
I have tried various freeware/shareware products, but they only offer functionality for copying the files to another hd. I want restore as much as possible of the original partition onto the same HD.
Does Testdisk have functionality for this scenario?
