![]() ![]() It has an option -n to do checks without fixing or writing anything :Įdit : according to your post, the partition is /dev/sda1 However I recommend you do a "ntfsfix" which would do additional checks. I think it may help other tools when it is "restored". (I choose to ask here, because I think here would someone know best what exactly does the Fedora Media Writer does when it "restores to factory settings" an USB-disk. Some tool, which would just be told it is a NTFS-filesystem and sector by sector would harvest the right blocks of the lost files. Currently (today) I do not have extra 500GB space to make a full backup of the USB-disk (which also has the OS I am using now in those Linux-partitions)Īny ideas how to try to salvage the NTFS partition or undelete some files from it? I am afraid of using that method, because I do not exactly know what Fedora Media Writer does then? I cannot loose any more data by doing wrong moves. Do you want to restore it to factory settings?" dialog with Fedora Media Writer when pointed to that /dev/sda There is a "You inserted XXXX that already contains a live system.

Testdisk doesn't find any files either in the corrupt NTFS partition. I think it should be possible, because only the first 306 MB of the 446 GB NTFS-partition has been destroyed. Now there is files I'd like to recover from the corrupt NTFS-partition, but don't yet know which tools would help to restore them. I was able to get back Linux boot and LUKS-partitions though with fdisk by first letting testdisk to scan through the whole sda disc and detecting the sector counts for the lost two Linux-partitions. Using testdisk, it doesn't find any files on that corrupt NTFS-partition. That overwrote first 305 MB over 446 GB NTFS-partition I do not remember if I finally used "Fedora Media Writer", or "ISO Media Writer" to create the bootable USB-device.

So I try to add it with "A" and change its type to "extended LBA", which seems to be what I need judging by the Internet. But the Linux and Linux Swap partitions should be in an extended partition, which testdisk doesn't seem have caught. The partitions are correct (except I find it strange that they're not cylinder-aligned). Windows restore messed up my boot and rendered one of my partitions seemingly "unallocated". ![]()
