In need of assistance for recovering a lost partition
- by Tek
The program that has worked for the most part is Active@ Partition Recovery.
I'm so close but yet so far from recovering my data.
Okay so here's what happens.
In the following screenshot (blanked out a folder and filename with profanity in case some of you guys are at work :P), it detects the partition I accidentally deleted with ALL 100% of my data listed. Of course, I didn't write ANY data to that drive after I did this.
But when I click "recover" and finishes the recovery process, in Windows I click on the partition that was just was just recovered... It's EMPTY.
The program seems to be able to see my lost files, but when I recover the partition windows doesn't seem to think the same =(
Things I tried:
I tried running a chkdsk /r /f after I recovered the partition, apparently it couldn't find any errors.
Tried using other software like TestDisk to recover the partition, but they (all) act similar to Windows in that it detects the (missing) partition but when I browse it there's no files.
The partition is there along with all the file and data information. The sector information is also in the screenshot, is there any way I can use this to my advantage in recovering my data?
Other information:
Dualboot: Win8 / Ubuntu 12.10 x64
1TB Internal desktop drive, GPT Layout, NTFS formatted drive, 64K allocation size.
