Recover lost NTFS files from Linux???
Ok major fubar... :D
I tried reinstalling windows over a previous mishap and lost all my partitions... C:\ windows xp 25GB (NTFS) D:\ misc 55GB (NTFS) E:\ misc 55GB (NTFS) F:\ Linux 55GB ************************************************************************************* Here's what I had before... Disk /dev/hda: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 2 3264 26210047+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda2 * 3265 10444 57673350 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda3 10445 17624 57673350 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda4 17625 24790 57560895 83 Linux /dev/hda5 2 3264 26210016 7 HPFS/NTFS ************************************************************************************* ************************************************************************************* Here's what I have now... Ugh... Disk /dev/hda: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1958 15727603+ 7 HPFS/NTFS ************************************************************************************* PLEASE tell me there is a way to recover these lots partitions. When I reinstalled windows I didn't think it would wipe everything away. I did do a format on this 15GB partition, but thats still within the space of the last windows. Shouldn't affect the rest right??? Gotta love being a newbie... LOL |
u need to try varouos partitoninig tools
some are here http://ultimatebootcd.com/ also there is one tool called acronis recovery expert u need to install that on some other window OS and then run that for this hard disk regards |
90% chance it is lost... Windows will always wipe it unless you tell it otherwise... did you use the win tools to tell it all of the partitions?
Try using a GUI linux install to re-instate the bootloader... something like Mandrake... it might be that Grub or Lilo have been wiped by Windows. If this fails... then you have lost it. Regards Richard |
