Hello there,
Please let me know where I can get any help to undo a mistake a made recently.
My intention is only to restore the original mbr to my ssd drive. Testdisk says this partition can't be recovered.
I've read this marvellous program can do the trick but I couldn't find how after reading a bunch of comments and stuff over the internet.
I'm not English so I'm sorry if I can't find the right words for everything.
I hope sy can help me. I'll be be very grateful for that.
THX in advance,
Lee

Nobody knows what your "original MBR" is.

Re: SSD mbr overwritten accidentally with an other HDD's mbr
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I mean "original" as factory default master boot record of the 1st 512Kb. Does anybody know how I can restore it back?
I've already read the "step by step" today and I was hoping it to be the solution but I got "partition structure corrupted" error or sg like that.
However I can still read the Intenso SSD partially under winXP 32bit. Win7 32bit doesn't even recognize the drive.
Which sould be an 960GB SSD with AHCI win10 intalled on it but my pc sees only 221GB because of the faulty mbr I written to it accidentally.
All help would be much appretiated.
Thx, Lee

Re: SSD mbr overwritten accidentally with an other HDD's mbr
No worries, I understand your situation! To restore the original MBR (Master Boot Record) on your SSD, TestDisk can help, but it might require a few extra steps. Since TestDisk indicates the partition can't be recovered, you might want to try using TestDisk's advanced options or check if you have a backup of the MBR. If TestDisk doesn't work, you could also try tools like EaseUS Partition Master or AOMEI Partition Assistant. Feel free to reach out for more guidance!
