Hi! Testdisk is good but i had no luck with my harddisk. Photorec does not seem to recover the names of the files but i guess that is to beg for to much or? There are other cli tools as well. Scalpel or foremost. /A > 29 aug. 2015 kl. 11:45 skrev Tony Baechler <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > Does it have to run in a GUI? Having done a similar thing once, I recommend testdisk. It should run fine from within a terminal, but it's not a GUI program. It also exists for Windows. It should be included on most rescue CDs, but if not, a simple "apt-get -q install testdisk" from the Ubuntu live CD should work. Your situation reminds me of the time I accidentally typed mkfs instead of fsck and had to use photorec (also part of testdisk and not limited to photos) to recover my files.
