Overwritten partition during installation of FC 17
Posted: 25 Sep 2012, 06:12
I have a data disk, 100 GB) of ext4 file system. When I tried to install Fedora 17, I accidentally inserted this data disk instead of a blank disk into the system. I did not realized until the Fedora written the partition information on the disk, then I aborted the installation without going further. Now the partition is as follow:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdf1 * 2048 1026047 512000 83 Linux
/dev/sdf2 1026048 195362815 97168384 8e Linux LVM
My old partition was a plain ext 4 file system without any LVM stuff.
I have clone the disk with dd and I found this testdisk program. Can testdisk be used to rescue my data in this situation?
Thanks in advance for any help, as I have most of my data and research papers that I have referenced in this data disk!
