Help! Accidentally clicked on erase in time machine when connecting an external HD to mac

#1 Post by kingkahuna »

Hello Folks,

I recently moved from windows to mac and require help in recovering some data from my 2 TB external hard disk, which I accidentally deleted. The external drive had a lifetime of data that I had stored using my windows machine. I do not remember the file format (FAT32, NTFS, etc.)

I connected the external drive to my mac for the first time. Timemachine poped up an offer to back up the data. It mentioned something about having to format the drive before I could use it. I meant to click 'Cancel', but the devil was out and I accidentally clicked on the "Erase" (I think that's was the button said) button. I immediately realized my mistake and yanked the cable out in a fraction of a second, but the damage was done.

It's pretty similar to what this person did in http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/tim ... rd-drive.3 84989/. I have always used my external hard disk drive on my windows laptop and recently shifted to a mac.

Now, I am in the process to recover. The data is definitely there since I attempted to recover using PhotoRec and got back some files. The problem was that it cannot recover the data in the original file structure and was renaming the files. So I killed the job.

I am now using TestDisk and am running it in Windows 10 through parallels. What I have understood so far, is that I need to restore the lost partition. It is very slow and I see the following messages on the screen.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63
Analyse cylinder 20353/243200: 08%

check_FAT: Unusual media descriptor (0xf0!=0xf8)
Warning: number of heads/cylinder mismatches 16 (FAT) != 255 (HD)
Warning: number of sectors per track mismatches 32 (FAT) != 63 (HD)
EFI System 40 409639 409600 [EFI]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Here are the options that I have
1. Continue running it in Windows 10 (Parallels) and check for the outcome.
2. Kill the job and re-run in mac (Hoping it will be faster).
3. Kill the job and do a deep search in mac (Hoping it will be faster)
4. Get some miraculous solution from this community

Any pointers will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

King Kahuna

You will probably need the use Deeper Search to get your NTFS partition. Once it's listed, set the partition as P(rimary). On next screen, choose Write, confirm, Quit and restart your computer.
Use TestDisk 7.1-WIP, it's faster than previous version.

Thank you for responding. I had already done a few things that I have listed below, before your response.

[*] I killed the windows 10 run.
[*] I selected Intel/PC and did a deep search.
[*] I started a run using 7.0 in the mac and let it run overnight.
[*] I killed the job this morning since it had not even progressed beyond 0%
[*] What I see on the screen now is a long list (maybe a 100) of partitions with varying start, end and size in sectors. Some of them are listed as FAT32, FAT 16 <32M, FAT 16 >32M, FAT 16 LBA, HPFS - NTFS. As I scroll through the list, I noticed that the size shown at the bottom of the screen continuously changes.

Couple of screenshots attached

For next steps:
[*] Should I restart the run using 7.1 WIP as you have suggested below?

OR

[*] Do you think the current run has given me the data that is required for the next steps? If yes, what should I do next? Which partition should I be selecting and continue?

Thank you for all your help.

Selecting continue, I see a list of partitions of varying sizes. Which one should I select now to make it primary? Below is the information from the log. I tried to attach it, but the file format did not go through.

I did try to make one of them primary and wrote it. But it could not read the partition and marked it as corrupt.

Disk /dev/disk2 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - 3907024896 sectors
Check the harddisk size: HD jumper settings, BIOS detection...
The harddisk (2000 GB / 1863 GiB) seems too small! (< 4781 GB / 4453 GiB)
The following partitions can't be recovered:
