Hi,
I hope this is the right place for my question; if not, please someone
give me a hint where to ask it...
I have accidentally deleted another NTFS partition than I thought I did;
now I have a deleted 57GB NTFS partition which has been partly
overwritten with a 5GB ext3fs partition (1.7GB used) and 2GB swap. There
has not happened very much on these since, so it should be possible to
get back most of my data.
So, what should I do?
For security reasons, I reckon it would be wise to create images of the
new partitions (and now unused space). I'd like to avoid to create an
imoage of the entire 120 GB disk, since the affected part covers 57 GB
and I have another 80GB disk in spare which I could use for the image.
What would happen if I just deleted the new partitions and
re-established the deleted NTFS partition without (long-) formatting
it?. Is there a tool which would help me to get data back from this?
Any help would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Tobias
