I accidentally ran chkdsk on my hdd. And lost a lot of files.
I have recovered the folder “found000” and got 90gb of text files in few hundred thousand files so long so good. But it will take years to sort out again.
Is it possible to reverse chkdsk ?
Change the file system back ?
In the menu after search I have pressed “t” for change the file system, but I can’t find exFat ?
When I press “P” list files then I can see my missing folders with the right name but they are all marked in red ?
How do I undelete / recover all these folders and files ?
Big thanks in advance

Using TestDisk, Advanced, you can copy the files marked in red.
Using fidentify, you can find the correct file extension of the files in the lost+found directory

When copying it says,: Copying, please wait... 58 ok, 297488 failed
Why is that ?
And when I run fidentify I just opens for few seconds and then close the program again ?
Just nothing is going my way
