Recover ext3 partition overwritten by GPT
Posted: 15 Dec 2013, 12:41
I have a XenServer ext3 partition on a 6TB iSCSI target. On it where my virtual disks.
Unfortunately, a Windows PC connected to the same iSCSI target and the disk was initialised using the GUID Partition Table (GPT).
Fortunately, it wasn't formatted with any file system though.
I am currently analysing the iSCSI target from a Windows PC using TestDisk. The scan is currently only at 17% but it is already showing 11 partitions with various sizes. Every partition shows "MS Data" as the type though.
I'm not sure how I will recover these to a single ext3 partition. Help appreciated
