Misused Testdisk please help Deleted volume in windows 10 pro installation

#1 Post by Piolon »

This is the first time I make this mistake and today I made it a second time - I posted that on a separate question -.
I was installing Windows 10 pro and accidentally deleted a volume that i dont recall if it was xFAT or NTFS... but most probably xFAT,
to allegedly install windows in it. because it was the same size of the drive I use to reinstall windows.

Once I noticed that, I quit the installation, turned off the machine without even formatting the disk, and unplugged the drive.
Upon reading/hovering over a bunch of sites after googling, I ended up naturally in Testdisk, and then I when remembered I had used
testdisk to recover other hd on another ocassion a long time ago. I think it was an SD card.

I then plugged the HD which was unallocated and rushed to create or write on top a new partition table
by selecting the change the type and not using the backup. At that time I had not read enough and misused this tool. My bad.
I could then see the drive but it seemed empty. It had assigned a letter to it.
Yet runnig photorec it can see all the data and lost of files. Ran it for hours and piled uo not only a lot of trash but also renamed files.
I read somewhere that that was the way it did it. I stopped it, and left it there. Also deleted the recoverd files as they took a bunch of space.

Now today that I have time to fix it, if I go to analyze, I now that I have read a little more about it - because I made the same mistake again, this time I did it on a spanned drive that I forgot to unplug - that the other thread I just posted -

It shows the following error:
No Backup BOOT when I try to load from backup with L after analyzing

Also it shows this It says

Boot sector
Status OK
ntfs_boot_sector: Cant read backup boot sector
Status: Bad

Sectors are not identical.

A valid NTFS must be present ....
*************************************************************

I also have a log of a session when I messed it up
you can see there I was trying to see which drive was at the beginning that was messed up.
At that moment everything was plugged in. Then when I figured it
out I I think wrote an MBR new type on top and did not try to access the backup..

The only workaround I know is using PhotoRec to recover the data from this disk but the files won't have their original filenames.
