Hello
I have an external HDD, 2GB, USB. It was formatted with exFAT by using Windows 10 Disk Management Tool. There were 700 GB Data on it.
Unfortunately, I formatted the 2GB Drive using the Disk Management Tool with NTFS, Quick formatting.

testdisk is finding a NTFS Partition. How can I instruct Testdisk to look for the older exFAT table or data-structure?
I haven't written any data on the HDD since. It was mounted in a linux for a short time.
Thanks for helping!

To find your exFAT, try TestDisk, Analyse, Quick Search, Stop (if available), Deeper Search.
If it doesn't work, run PhotoRec, enable the expert mode in Options, stat the recovery.
Use a 512 bytes blocksize, use the default options otherwise (no need to create an image_remaining.dd file)
