accidently selected the wrong drive when creating a usb boot disk. cancelled immediately but the drive still shows as empty now. ran testdisk for hours and this is all i got :\. i hope i can fix this; it wasn't even my drive i cleared!

any help will be So very appreciated!

(i am rather sure the drive was originally formatted long ago on an old PPC mac so i selected Apple Partition Map..)

Mac partition table are very uncommon... Try EFI GPT.
No log file or screenshot is visible.

Thank you for the reply, Grenier!

TestDrive detects INTEL partition table, but I think that is what Startup Disk Creator formats to. FAT32 partition is found; don't see any files.

IF I select EFI GPT for table type, MS Data partition is found; no files.

If I select Mac for table type, HFS partition is found; no files.
Last night I ran a deep scan on this setting and ~8 more HFS partitions showed up by the time it finished. Still no files. I wish I could find that log!

The drive was definitely HFS, and I believe it was originally formatted by an old eMac (circa~2003), which is why I was guessing Apple Partition Table. I could be mistaking, but I believe that is what those old guys used..

I don't know where to go from here. I am running another deep scan right now. Here is the log so far... Hope this helps??

Thanks again

Finished the deep scan. This is what I got...

Anyone have any ideas?

Still at this! :\
But I certainly can't blame you for giving up on me.
Should I perhaps try PhotoRec for this operation ?
Thanks...
