exFat SD card to FAT files gone?

#1 Post by giukas »

Hello
I've been using testdisk many times but thiis time I'm in trouble and helpless)))

I had this 128GB SD formatted ExFAT full of docs, audio,movies and so on and of couurse I inadvertently formatted as a FAT32

I'm on linux with testdisk 7.1
Intel detected and fat too

I tried to do advanced and undelete but nothing shows up
Then tried 'advanced' and assigned exfat type and 'Undelete' but I get "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged."

what chances do I have? abny idea please?
