Sorry to hear that
it is possible to restore partitions with mkntfs but how big is your HDD because windows allocated different cluster sizes depending on how large it is. some advanced options you would need to put in
Code:
Advanced options
-c, --cluster-size BYTES
Specify the size of clusters in bytes. Valid cluster size values are powers of two, with at least 256, and at most 65536 bytes per cluster. If omitted, mkntfs uses 4096 bytes as the default cluster size.
Note that the default cluster size is set to be at least equal to the sector size as a cluster cannot be smaller than a sector. Also, note that values greater than 4096 have the side effect that compression is disabled on the volume (due to limitations in the NTFS compression algorithm currently in use by Windows).
-s, --sector-size BYTES
Specify the size of sectors in bytes. Valid sector size values are 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes per sector. If omitted, mkntfs attempts to determine the sector-size automatically and if that fails a default of 512 bytes per sector is used.
-p, --partition-start SECTOR
Specify the partition start sector. The maximum is 4294967295 (2^32-1). If omitted, mkntfs attempts to determine part-start-sect automatically and if that fails a default of 0 is used. Note that part-start-sect is required for Windows to be able to boot from the created volume.
also you probably need to tell mkntfs where to start the filesystem, and how big it was... down to the block or sector....
trash me if im wrong but it may be next to impossible...
