I got an external drive (around 250G) where a friend accidently installed Windows 10 installation image. The partition of this installation image is around 32G so I bet there's a good chance the remaining data is not lost.
I created an image with ddrescue to have a save space (and because it's way faster reading from an SSD).
So I'm loading the image with testdisk backup.img and select Intel/PC partition, because it was a NTFS / FAT partition before (not sure about that, because my friend can't say for sure).
The quick search reveals this:
"List files" returns:Disk backup.img - 250 GB / 232 GiB - CHS 30402 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
>* HPFS - NTFS 0 1 1 30400 254 63 488392002
So I'm proceeding to deeper search and eventually get this result:Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
I'm trying to list the files for this partition and get:The following partition can't be recovered:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
> HPFS - NTFS 30400 254 63 60801 253 62 488392002
What else can I do?Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
