Formatted over top of exFAT - need to recover .nef photos
Posted: 07 Jun 2015, 19:05
Hello, I would appreciate anyone's help to execute the steps necessary to try and recover the .nef files on a hard drive that was formatted overtop of the data. TestDisk isn't user friendly from a novice's position, and that is basically what I am.
I had an exFAT file structure that contained 7,000 .nef photos. My computer randomly reformatted the drive and now I am left with an UNTITLED volume and the original files obviously can not be seen.
I feel comfortable following whatever steps necessary as long as the steps are explained clearly.
The drive is a 500 gb SSD.
I would like to attempt to recover the .nef files AND I would love to retain the file structure if possible. What would the proper steps be, or could anyone please forward me on towards a quality step-by-step instructions on the best way to recover the lost partition. Thank you very much.
