Not sure if this is ever likely to help anyone else but I wanted to get the word out in case anyone else hits a similar situation (although why the fuck would you ever.) I thought this was pretty fucking close to black magic and it neatly removed asses from slings like a champ. This little beauty of a command line tool can happily scan the drive it is currently running on, recognize the previous partitions and filesystem types, present a coherent view of the files that used to be there, and then happily recover them to your recovery directory location. In this case there was crucial data on the windows drive that was now gone forever.Įnter. Fairly obviously this makes data recovery a little tricky as you now have an ext3 filesystem and a swap partition where your single ntfs partition used to be. In an effort to "diagnose" he overwrote the drive with a linux install. His latest special was a windows laptop that was virus laden. He acts as senior citizen tech support to other senior citizens, totally borks the process, then calls up beloved son to provide free consulting to the masses. For reasons I get depressed about going into, my father's support calls are often really special.
