Hi,
The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive
that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted
the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and
launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no
partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB
of free space.
Any way to retrive data on this hard drive? Some magic live
distribution to read data on repartitioned / reformatted hard drives?
any suggestions?
I have used testdisk with excellent results. Read about its features,
capabilities and limitations at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
That at least looks hopeful. Now is the time to instruct your clients
on the advisability of backups, I trow. I know, the cows are already
out of the barn.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
