Hail to you all!

I bought a new hard drive (1Tb) and want to create a partition (on my old one) for W***s (Only for gaming...)

So i did: dd if=/dev/sda2 (old one) of=/dev/sdb1 (new one) bs=100M, to backup my /home partition.

In my new drive i had some movies, music, etc....

Now i have my 1Tb hard drive with 90Gb and no movies (Ok, you can call me a big dumb As* pt.2)

Is there any way to recover my movies and music?
I thought that dd copied the 90Gb into 1Tb and not replace it. So when i do df -hT not only i have 1 Tb drive with 90Gb but it converted the ext3 to reiserfs! (You can call me dumb As* pt.2)

Thx a lot

I have been able to rescue a whole lot of data, pictures and files with photoRec which is a part of the testDisk suite.

You can find it on several handy livedisks.

I agree, and do save the recovered data to somewhere else other than the drive you're recovering from. You may also want to try foremost if testdisk fails to do the job.

Thx!

I'm now running testdisk...

Hi,
I hope you did a backup.

You can recover the original drive if the secondary partition table is still valid.

You could look at other tools within 'Tools, Recovery, Diagnostic, Emergency' section of 'Slackware-Links'. More than just Slackware® links!

Yes...
i did a copy of my home partition but i didn't erase it

So... testdisk is finished. Do i make a deeper search or write the partition?

Did you recover all that you wanted ? If not, try foremost, in some cases it recovers more than testdisk.

I am now doing a exhaustive test... but...
I think i'm gonna give up... i can get the movies again!

Thx for your patience
See ya

Nothing, i reformatted the partition!
Thx!
