Troubleshoot Recovering data from (or reconstructing) a damaged NTFS Partition

[joelgrizly009]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

I recently accidentally overwrote part of my NTFS partition

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

- I've tryed Scandisk/Chkdsk, both couldn't recognise the partition.

I recently accidentally overwrote part of my NTFS partition (the header to be more precice) with an extended partition, while trying to recover from a messed up partition table.

I am now unable to access the data on that partition from either Win2k or Linux.

- I've tryed Scandisk/Chkdsk, both couldn't recognise the partition.
- GNU PartEd doesnt support rescueing NTFS partition (not much of a surprise) :-(

I am sure, that only a few bytes were overwritten after the partition was accessable, so the files are all still on the harddrive. As such I am now looking for a way to either repair the NTFS partition header, or at least extract the files to another harddrive.

I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

To recover files if you want

a) Free software - Recuva is what I would recommend, it performs really good.
b) Paid software - OnTrack Easy Recovery is the fastest and the best commercial one.

if you are having one more PC either with you or with your friends connect your HDD in that PC as slave , after booting you can access your data even you can repair HDD in slave mode.
