Hey folks,

I was messing around with Linux trying to repair a corrupt SSD when I accidentally deleted my other, non corrupt, primary Windows partition.

I ended up creating a new partition before realizing what I had done. I ran testdisk and was able to see the files, but I didn't end up writing the partition table back to the drive.

Instead, I ended up deleting the partition a second time. Now when I run testdisk, it only shows the recently deleted partition/files and not the files from before.

Am I out of luck or is there a way to tell testdisk to recover older partitions?

Thanks in advance!

Did you run deep search?

Thanks for the reply

I did run a deep search, but I didn't create a log. I'm running it again now and will upload the log when it finishes.

I'll include the screenshots from the quick scan though.

This is the partition that can't be recovered. I believe this is the one that contains all my files. The two MS Data partitions that show up on the quick search don't contain the files I need. I think they're the partition that overwrote the one I want to recover. When I list the files this is all that shows up.

My apologies, I tried to use pastebin but it was having issues with the file. I had to use dropbox

Please check all partitions found after deep search finishes with the "p"-key.
If that fails use Photorec or any commercial software.
