partitions not recognized, two suspect

#1 Post by alezyx »

Hi, I lost everything on my internal HDD.
Previously, it contained just one ext2 partition (containing all my data).
Now, testdisk reports about 3 partitions (sorry, I cant find where to upload images):


Disk /dev/sdc - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 15200 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
>* Linux 0 4 4 3 51 48 51200
P Linux 3 51 49 19 132 49 262144
P Linux 274 176 31 14384 56 8 226669568

the first ext3 209/200MB, the other two ext4 1073/1024MB, 928/864GB respectively.
This is the result of the deeper scan by the way.
The third one is I guess my prize, but the oher two I dont know where they came from, and the Type is wrong in all of them.

Anyway, no partition is identified:

Partition Start End Size in sectors
1 * Linux 0 4 4 3 51 48 51200
2 P Linux 3 51 49 19 132 49 262144
3 P Linux 274 176 31 14384 56 8 226669568

How can I proceed?

Thanks for any help!

Please deliver a case description!
"I lost everything" is not sufficient.

Upload your pictures to this site using the attachment tab at the bottom of the web page.

Please post your TestDisk logfile.
