When installing Linux, I accidentally created a Linux partition on an NTFS HDD with the wrong HDD device and formatted it with Ext4.
PhoroRec can recover some files, but is there any way to recover them?
Is it possible to recover the original file name from the MFT backup?
I have formatted Ext4 on an NTFS HDD with a Linux partition.
