Partition recovery in order to get back lost data?
Posted: 10 Jan 2015, 01:28
I accidentally reformatted a WD My passport 1TB drive to a FAT32 33GB drive.
I ran testdisk and I am not clear about what to do now. The image below contains the files that testdisk created on the drive.
I have read the examples and threads in this forum but I am still confused. I used Recuva to recover about 128GB of files to another drive. But I really want to understand how test disk works. Could someone please explain to me how to use test disk to create a partition on this drive and then recover the lost files? I think that is what needs to be done.
Thanks.
