Hello,
I was trying to fix my partition (the hdd had 2 partitions: F and G, one was working fine, the other one was corrupt) and recover files using Testdisk.
I tried to follow the instructions:
https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
After deep search the missing partition was showing in the partitions list so I used the "write" command believing it would "keep it" in windows.
After I restarted the computer, F and G were merged into partition D and there were no files at all, as it was formatted.
Please help.
can "WRITE" command be undone?

Re: can "WRITE" command be undone?
There is no UNDO function for the write command.
You did not check the readibility of the found partition using the "p"-key as described in the link you provided.
You might rerun TestDisk and use this function to check which partitions contain reasonable content that you recognize.
