Hi,
I was hoping someone could help.
While making a bootable USB disk in Linux through the 'usb-creator-gtk' program, I accidentally 'erased' my external hdd which had loads of HFS+ partitions and one VFAT one. The usb-creator program has overwritten the entire 2TB external hdd with a FAT32 partition.
Is there any way Testdisk can recover the original partition table?
Thanks.

Re: HFS+ external drive partition table overwritten with FAT32
Hello, I am having the same problem (Mac HFS+ disk accidentally overwritten by FAT32), the .iso would have been 4 GB but I aborted the process. Am running the "Analyse" sector now. Any advice appreciated
