Recover NTFS formated on EXT4
Posted: 18 Jun 2014, 13:41
Hello,
By the will of the unknown God of all mistakes I have installed Linux Mint and formatted my windows drive to 900 GB(NTFS) into EXT4. Well the case is a bit complicated but that is the result.
Now I run only on live USB and had free 900GB on external drive. In the moment I'm running photorec and I'm recovering some of the lost files. But this is not working for me, it is recovering files with self-generated name in random folder. It will be imposable for me to find what I need.
Still wandering if there is another way.
I'm not familiar at all with testdisk and don't know what are its full capabilities. Please guide me what I can do in this case. What I need to read.
Thanks in advance.
