Powercut during gparted copy and move operation

[MiniMoe]

I have a 4TB HDD which was split to 2 2TB partitions. One was ext4 (left) and the other NTFS (right).

 

I had copied all the data from the ext4 partition to the NTFS one for use in Windows. Once this was finished I used GParted, which was going to change the ext4 partition to NTFS and move all the data to the start of the drive to create a 4TB NTFS drive with all my data in place.

 

I had a power cut during this process, when i turned the computer back on I can see the 2TB NTFS partition, but its empty with no data in it, even though it says 1.4TB is in use, there is nothing on the drive i can see. It shows as /dev/sbd2 and I can't find /dev/sdb(1).

 

I need to recover the data somehow but I don't know how. Can anyone help?

 

I don't have a backup Would be heartbreaking to loose this data.

OS: Manjaro Linux

Have you tried R-Linux. Recovery tool for Linux. I use Windows so I tend to use Lazesoft or Recuva.

Once the scanning has completed will it give me the option to recover the data? Or will I at least be able to see that the data is still there?

I imagine it should allow you to recover it, would be silly for it not to. Did you find out if it worked?

I used TestDisk in the end, managed to recover all 2TB's of data on the drive, drive is now fixed aswell. Spent the past week building a Plex and backup server, so I have less data on my PC (Media content) and the important stuff is backed up on the server too.

Glad to hear you got your data back. It's never fun losing data.

Do you have your server backed up?
