Dual boot nightmare
Posted: 05 Jul 2019, 17:33
This is my first attempt with TestDisk and I am glad it is available for us. I use to have dual boot on my laptop with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. Something I tried on gparted spoiled the system. Nothing was working. I used Windows 10 bootable USB and got my laptop working. I was lucky and I got most of my partitions intact. Other than the one in which I had Ubuntu and an NTFS partition named items which had some of my data. Now I need to get these 2 partitions back. I don't mind if I am forced to skip ext4 and save items which has some of my useful files. I tried TestDisk and I got all the drives listed as shown below
I would be happy if I can get all 5 NTFS partitions and the Linux partition next to it back. I think the last one is a recovery partition which is no longer required. But whatever choice do I make, I am getting a bad structure error.
I am attaching " disk management " and " This PC " screenshots so that you can understand what I have here and working. It would be great if could get those displayed drives back. Thanks.
