Hi All,
I've just reinstalled my machine to Ubuntu 14.04 (previously 13.04). I backed up my data to external HDD and just simply do the install. During the installation, I select to format the home (which is in the internal HDD) and just mount the external one. But when the installation was done, I found that the external HDD was formatted was well and it is now empty. I unmounted the HDD right away and have been searching for a way to recover the data for a few hours now and at the same time ran the testdisk deep search.
If unrecoverable, I will loose years of my personal data/works (fortunately some backup from 2011 is till in the old HDD) so I determine to get it back.
Is there a way to recover the data? Looked into the forum and found OLD posts (2011) about recovering data. I wonder if things has changed then?
Thank you very much for any helps or thoughts.
Sincerely,
