Help Recovering Windows install

Hyra · August 26, 2018

So today I have had a major f***up and deleted my main windows install while trying to install windows on another hard drive. There are two big issues:

My main windows install is gone

That windows install had a mirrored config going, and it was done through disk manager.

Is there any way to recover the windows install?

so you basically formatted the drive. If it was only a fast format you could be lucky with some software to recover the data. If it was overwritten your chances are pritty slim.

if you install windows on the other drive, it should format the new windows drive, not the old.

but if you install new window in a new partition, i think it might get screwed.

what i think is happening is you installed windows on the new drive then the bootloader are moved to the new drive, so you can only boot on the new windows.

can you see the content of the old windows?
