I have a 4tb drive which had a formatted NTFS 3.9tb partition and several small partitions. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) main and backup partition tables were then re-written so the partitions were 'lost', however the partitons were not overwritten so I am sure they are still there.
I have both the original drive, and a backup whole disk image written to another drive with dd under Linux.
I would like a software recommendation for recovery software to restore the 3.9tb NTFS partition to a readable state, either from the original disk or backup disk image. I can use either Windows 7 or Linux.
I found this list: http://forensicswiki.org/wiki/Tools:Data_Recovery#Partition_Recovery
Note: Old website was abandoned and appears to have been recreated at: https://forensicswiki.xyz/wiki/index.php?title=Tools:Data_Recovery
But it makes no particular recommendations. Have people here used any of these before?
dd
. If not the entire disk, it could at least extract the partition fordd
to write. I've no idea about the other candidates mentioned in that list.
