EXT4 Partition overwritten by mistake

#1 Post by rhodesfreak »

Hi,

I have overwritten my EXT4 data partition and i'm trying to recover it using testdisk.

I used the deep search function and I could see the partition's name appearing the scan process, but once the process finished I couldn't select the partition in order to see the files.

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
