1TB HDD partially formatted. need help to recover files

#1 Post by bina »

1TB Toshiba passport Ext hard drive. Is in good physical condition. I accidentally "Delete Volume" in Disk management and performed a NTFS format (also deselected "quick clean"). Was at 1% before i yanked out the cord.

Using TestDisk and performed "Analyse".

I've attached the log file from the initial search. Am currently running a deeper search.

Can anyone tell me if I'm able to recover my files please.

The log file is missing...
Try TestDisk, Avanced, select the partition, Boot, RebuildBS, List. If you can see your files, choose Write and confirm.
Otherwise use PhotoRec to recover your data, note that original filenames will be lost.
