Partition File Structure Recovery: NTFS Partition
I recently destroyed my file structure due to mistakenly writing a
partition table to the wrong hard disk drive on my machine while installing an experimental version of OS X. The saving factor is that the partition that may have formatted was only 20GB out of 200GB and the rest was unallocated free space. I have installed a temporary instance of WinXP to use data recovery software and recover the majority of files from the drive (it is installed on the non-corrupted drive). I ran a scan with R-Studio's awesome NTFS recovery tool and can only find some of my recognized files here and there with system files in between. The folders are present as something such as $$$Folder1546$$ but there is absolutly no file system structure present. Is there a way to reconstruct the file system with another utility using a data forensics linux livecd or other utility? I REALLY need to get this data recovered and would like to learn how on my own as first resort. |
