Hi
First sorry my bad English
I'have problem with my one hard disk partition. It damaged when I was trying to recovery data from another disk with TestDisk. So I selected this damaged partition for TestDisk recovered files by mistake and now this partition is broken. I stopped file recovery about 20 seconds after I noticed that recovery saving target is wrong disk.
Testdisk show this information when I try use it to recovery damaged partition. Damaged partition is 7.
After Quick Search test disk list this:
Testdisk can't work with partition coz filesystem is unknown. So what I have to do to save my data on disk partition? Is the easiest way try to change filesystem back to ext3 and how to do it with out losing data on partition? When ext3 filesystem is back testdisk maybe work and files are possible to recover.
I tested Photorec but it split up lot of my mp3 files. Also it lose filesystem structure and filenames.
