| Can I reverse mkfs.ext4 on a drive? |
| (1/1) |
| Hawt:
I was trying to install Arch Linux today, and I did mkfs.ext4 on sda1 instead of sdb. The drive I forgeted up was my main Windows one, and booting it says "No operating system detected." Is there any way of fixing this without losing a few hundred gigabytes of work? The only computer I have left is my laptop which surprise I also forgeted up and it boots to busybox and stuff, so I can't like burn something onto a cd. |

install gentoo seriously though, as far as I can tell, the windows OS and your personal files and folders are stored on the same partition, so unless I'm wrong, you might be forgeted |
| Trymos:
you need an alternate install of windows on a different drive and run partition wizard with the other drive mounted and read this: https://www.partitionwizard.com/help/partition-recovery.html |

Testdisk will save your ass. If you still have your arch ISO, boot into it and run testdisk on /dev/sdb |
