Deleted Partition on 3TB Drive
Posted: 26 Sep 2013, 00:59
Hello,
I installed Linux Mint on an external drive trying to move away from Windows 7. In the process I accidentally deleted the partition on an internal 3TB data drive. After some searching on Google, I found testdisk and photorec. After attempting (what I thought would be an easy fix) to recover my partion, I think I screwed it up even more.
I have a few screen shots of my results, plus I posted a video on YouTube with the results of the deep scan. I am not going any further until I can get some advice... I have already recovered my data using photorec, but I really would like to restore this drive back to the way it was. Thank you for taking the time to look at this post.
Here is a link to a video of my final results after deep scan: http://youtu.be/kqAMbi0B-H8
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
