So - it's just a case of copying "everything" data-wise, using a bootable linux disk, to do that function. In most cases though, it's the windows system that has crashed, and the NTFS structure was intact. Note: that in my case - there was a clients Business Tax Data, that needed recovering. => unless you are using this as an"exercise" in which to gain some experience,īut you do need to know, when to stop & move on. Then this level of attention is pointless.
& there is nothing of 'value' on the linux partitions, If you aren't interested in recovering the windows partitions, Is difficult to justify, both time-wise & cost - if you had to pay for it. If it's *not* photos, or business tax data, that are "invaluable" then this level of attention, Laurent85 wrote:Besides Pierre advices If testdisk could not restore your lost partitions you may run photorec for file recovery.įrom memory - photorec can't do that - if there are no partitions in existence.īut - it's been a few years, since I've had to recover at this level, so I'm not sure if that's right.īut2 - photorec reads the media block by block (or cluster by cluster), so maybe it can work without any partitions.įrom memory though, working at this level, does take a serious amount of time.Īgain - what is on the Linux partition(s) that requires this level of attention? Thank you so much already and I send you my best regards. etc the same.įeel free to ask questions if you need more info. I want to be able to boot normally again and I would like to have all my files, settings, themes. I hope somebody can help me recover my system. It did give me this link with info though. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem.
I tried to fix this problem by running Linux Mint of my installation disk and running the "Boot-repair" program. The things I did in 'TestDisk' are the following: I found a step-by-step tutorial on the web that instructed me to use 'TestDisk'.Īfter messing around with this program and not actually knowing what I was doing I have unfortunately messed up booting. I was trying to recover some files that accidentally got deleted while making the transition from windows 10 to linux mint 17.3.
