Accidently changed GPT partition to NTFS
Posted: 18 Dec 2014, 19:23
Contrary to the post title, I am not a complete idiot...really. I was recovering some files from a 1TB sata which had lost it's partition table.
I was copying the data over from the discovered files list and decided that it would be faster to just repair the partition table since all the data was intact. Well, instead of telling it to make the partition table GPT I told it to make it intel. As you can imagine, there is now no data.
I have tried going back to re-analyse the cylinders (it's doing that as we speak) but every cylinder read says
"Read error at xxxxx/xxx/xxx"
Can I undo this incorrect partition table naming and get it back to GPT?
No data has been overwritten on the disk, just the partition table.
